Fractal Candy Corn

First we played with Fibonacci and Sunflowers, then we played with Sierpinski and Candy Corn.

We have been talking about patterns in math. The Fibonacci sequence is a pattern that takes the first two numbers and adds them 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,etc. We looked at how this shows up in nature. In sunflowers, in broccoli, in a leaf, in just about anything.

We then talked about more patterns, especially that of Sierpinski's Triangle. We talked about math fractals and looked at different examples.

Then...we built some using candy corn. The results were pretty impressive!

Cool thinkers!
