Pollinators, Some Neat Numbers, A Sequence, and a Tower

    Today we refreshed our memory bank and discovered a few more team members that could be considered Super Hero Pollinators. We think the drawing from Blossom and Roots is so sweet as is this video:  https://youtu.be/pnBoM4idf1

We also explored some very interesting numbers. We revisited our knowledge of Roman Numerals making sure we remembered that V=5 and X=10; a great video on the topic: https://youtu.be/Po8ScpyOUYQ We continued to learn further about ordinal numbers 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th etc. Some superb videos on this topic are: https://youtu.be/3afEr61KNDk

Thank you www.partycity.ca for this neat award recognition ribbon that we were able to create into the different ordinal numbers.

There is a nice free resource at: https://www.chickieandroo.com/product/roman-numerals-counting-4-part-flashcards/ which is quite wonderful and also one fore free from TPT: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Free-Roman-Numerals-Cheat-Sheet-Math-5074213 

We also discovered a very interesting Italian man named Leonardo Fibonacci and his sequence that reveals itself in nature and swirls. Thank you so much to the team at Blossom and Roots and their free autumn issue The Three Sunflowers sowed with love at: blossomandroot.com/book-seeds-by-blossom-and-root-coming-soon/  This issue introduced us to this fascinating talented individual. Fibonacci taught us that 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 is a sequence, however so is this 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 although it does not seem so. The first is regular skip counting by 2's the second actually has a pattern like this: 0+1=1,   1+1=2,   1+2=3, 2+3=5,  3+5=8,  8+13=21,  13+21=34,  21+34=55   so the last number added to the next reveals the new number to be added to the sequence. Two amazing videos on this subject are:

This interesting man was from Pisa and that is home to the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy where we watch some neat videos from HomeschoolPop on this subject: https://youtu.be/d2vnVKDJauc
