  • "Fibonacci Scavenger Hunt"
    The Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio exist all around us! After learning some of the basics of the Fibonacci sequence, prepare to go on a scavenger hunt looking for Fibonacci numbers in the world around you!

    PROJECTS

    FIBONACCI SCAVENGER HUNT
    A scavenger hunt is an activity and/or competition where participants are given a list of items to find. Scavenger hunts are beneficial to learning as they can increase problem-solving skills, practice teamwork at times, and can include movement and/or nature experiences. This scavenger hunt is based on the Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio.

    DIRECTIONS

    1. Click here to print the Scavenger Hunt chart, or make your own chart on a blank sheet of paper

    2. Find a writing utensil (pen, pencil, crayon, etc.)

    3. Search for the objects in the "Items to Find" column on the Scavenger Hunt chart. Place a check mark in the "Check" box once you find each item.

    4. Provide a short description of each item you find and how it relates to the Fibonacci spiral/sequence

    5. Make sure to HAVE FUN!

    6. Can you find other items not on the list that also relate to the Fibonacci spiral/sequence?
