This past week, my students were finishing up on some group projects.
One group had researched the Fibonacci sequence and found some
interesting info on pinecones, piano keys, rabbits and golden ratio (
the usual stuff).

But you know they finally get when they say,"Did you see the Fibonacci
numbers all over town? The trio running for the board of ed are on
lines 3, 5, and 8!"
( Like taxes weren't enough for tomorrow; in NJ, we have school board
elections!)

PS.
Oh yeah, in case you were wondering: yes, I do work at Wall Twp HS -
the infamous one with the obscene underground newspaper that you've
seen on the news! :-(
