A Geometric Puzzle That Leads To Fibonacci Sequences.
Rulf, Benjamin
Mathematics Teacher, v91 n1 p21-23 Jan 1998
Illustrates how mathematicians work and do mathematical research through the use of a puzzle. Demonstrates how general rules, then theorems develop from special cases. This approach may be used as a research project in high school classrooms or math club settings with the teacher helping to formulate questions, set goals, and avoid becoming side-tracked. (AIM)
