Activity Instructions

Ask your students the following:

If your allowance followed the Fibonacci sequence, how many days would it take you to earn 8 dollars? Would you rather have your money double every day for 10 days or grow with the Fibonacci sequence?

This activity follows the concept in ‘Freddy Fibonacci’s Awful Allowance’, by our program founder Suzy Koontz. You can find this book on our website.
