In Freddy Fibonacci’s Awful Allowance, clever Eliza asks her mother to switch her allowance from four dollars a week to one that uses Fibonacci numbers. Not understanding the extent of this request, her mother agrees. Each week, after completing a household chore, Eliza asks for her allowance. After six months, when the allowance has increased to a substantial amount, Eliza and her family provide Mom with a high-magnitude surprise!
At the end of the book, you will find a Math & Movement Lesson Plan for Fibonacci Numbers. This Fibonacci lesson plan is for 4th Grade Math, Operations and Algebraic Thinking – Patterns.

Angel Kozlowski –
Suzy Koontz is skillful in the way she blended mathematics with a topic that is relevant to all children – allowance. Fibonacci numbers are intriguing to children as well as adults because of the way the total grows quickly in a short number of computations. This book is a great addition to any mathematics curriculum- especially for teaching the 4th grade patterning standard – 4.OA.5.
In the book, Eliza asks her mother to switch her steady allowance to one using the Fibonacci pattern to determine the amount of allowance she would get each week. Her mother is quite perplexed at first and thinks that Eliza made a bad deal, but then the tables are turned after a few months. Eliza is making more than ever!
Not only is this book entertaining for both children and adults, but the addition of suggestions and notes to parents and teachers included in the book make it an invaluable resource to inspire a child’s mathematical thinking.
