Virtual Learning Lab: Mathematical Poetry-Fibonacci Numbers and Sequences by Cassidy Kao

April 2, 2020

This is the first part of a series of new poetry workshops, pairing up math and poetry. In this video, Cassidy Kao will introduce Fibonacci Number and Sequence and two types of poems, the “Fib” and “Create Your Own Pattern” poems. At the end of the video, Cassidy will also teach you how to make a Fibonacci artwork!

This workshop is recommended for 1st to 6th graders.

Required Materials: Graph paper, markers or color pencils, a piece of yarn, scissors and glue.
