Growing Patterns: Fibonacci Numbers in Nature Paperback – 26 July 2022

Service and book a good one Thank you!

Fascinating

Then buy this book! It's an absolutely beautiful combination of fabulous photography and simple text which points out so many connections between plants and numbers. The concept is really intriguing - that you can find in a park or garden a great variety of ways to demonstrate the mystery of the Fibonacci sequence.OK, I've lost you now - no, come back! I'm not a maths nerd! Honest.The Fibonacci sequence (which is something I never understood at school and certainly wouldn't be on my list of everyday phrases) says there is a pattern 1,1,2,3,5,8 etc where each number is the sum of the two which come before it.Hmm, "that's exciting", I hear you say. This book makes it FASCINATING. The photos make you desperate to count the petals on a flower, peer into a sunflower and turn a pineapple upside down in the search for these special numbers.I'm not sure I'd agree with the recommended age group here - 9-12 year old kids in the UK are different from their equivalents in the US. I'd buy this book for garden lovers who need a new eye on the world, for kids struggling to cope with words like "Fibonacci sequence" who will suddenly be able to get it once they see the pictures and anyone of any age who loves beautiful books.I'm off to find a pineapple.........

A book without content. What a disappointment

This is for young readers only. There are 32 printed pages and very little text. Its ok to introduce kids to the Fibonacci numbers.
