The article presents several activities that will lead students to discover interesting connections between matrices and Fibonacci numbers while practicing various skills, including matrix multiplication, pattern recognition, and proof by induction. These activities could be used in an algebra 2 course, once matrices have been introduced. The Fibonacci numbers have fascinated artists, scientists, and mathematicians for centuries. Some patterns in the Fibonacci numbers are based solely on mathematical concepts. This sequence is named for Leonardo da Pisa, one of the most well-known mathematicians from the Middle Ages. He is better known as Fibonacci, which is short for "filius Bonacci," meaning "the son of Bonaccio." Fibonacci wrote several books on mathematics. For pre-calculus students who have studied induction, proofs of these interesting patterns could be discussed. The off-diagonal of a matrix begins in the upper-right corner of the matrix and continues diagonally to the lower-left entry. While students consider this list of prime numbers, ask if they think more prime numbers could be found later in the sequence. The current emphasis on real-world mathematics helps students connect mathematics to their lives, but those students who appreciate the beauty of patterns and proofs may not have many opportunities to see the beauty of pure mathematics.
