![]() Press the green button on the left side of the lathe and we now have a stick. Now click on the top of the lathe (the piece with a yellow arrow on it) to lower this piece into place. Take the section of tree trunk and place it into the lathe on the table. Now, remove the plug from the pink socket and place it into the blue socket. Click on the ruler in the crate next to the sockets (3/4). Place the plug into the pink socket to light the room. Go right and you will see a plug on the ground with two strange looking sockets. This tip can be useful for the rest of the game to navigate the screens quickly. See the image below for the solution:Īfter completing the puzzle, the door on the right will open and you will get a tip that you can press to advance quickly to the next room. The different colored strings cannot cross each other. Take one end of a piece of string and lead it through the puzzle to the matching disc, and attach the string there. Your strings are added to the puzzle automatically and we need to connect each set of discs with the same color, using the matching string. Finally, use it on the red balloon string on the lower left of the room (4/4), and now we can begin the puzzle.Ĭlick on the string puzzle on the green door. Next, use the razor on the red bookmark in the book (3/4). Use this to cut the string from the kite that's on your bed in the rear alcove (2/4). Open the mirror in the back of the room and take the razor from the top shelf. Next, click on the green book in the center of the table at the very bottom of your screen, with a white hand on the cover. ![]() Click on the shoe to take the shoelace (1/4). Back out of this puzzle for now.Ĭlick on the very small green door on the right wall, just next to the yellow boots. You will now have an item list on the upper right of your screen: 4 strings. To solve this puzzle, we need to find 4 pieces of string first. You will now see a puzzle board slide over the aquarium, so click on it. Pick the key up and use it on the green aquarium machine in the lower right. As a follow up you may want to explore the sequence as it is found in nature or as the spiral generated by a series of squares working out from a centre.Next, open the blue curtain in the back of the room and you will see a key on the floor under the bed.Generate some agreed criteria for representing sequential patterns: what makes for a clear and easily understood diagram? Ask students to present their diagrams to each other and locate the common elements and the differences between them.There are many ways to create a schematic representation and encouraging creative responses to this may provide you with surprises. Do they see it as a “branching” scheme or a layering scheme or a more linear scheme?Ĭ. What do they know about using a tree diagram or a flow chart?ī. Try not to give too many directions about this assignment, as it will be a valuable assessment opportunity to see how students think about organizing a pattern.Ī. Their diagram needs to be organized so that the set for each month is easily found. Ask students to work together to create an illustration of how the population has expanded over a year. After a first reading, quickly flip through a second time demonstrating how the pairs of rabbits are illustrated as unorganized sets.You could further set the context for the book by having students explore the sequence and see if they can discover a rule for generating the next number (each number is the sum of the previous two numbers) or you could discuss some biographical or mathematical ideas related to Fibonacci the mathematician.Ask students to work together in pairs and estimate the number of pairs they would have at the end of one year.This is the classic rabbit problem Fibonacci used to generate the sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144… Each pair is comprised of 1 male and 1 female and no rabbits die or leave the field. If a pair of baby rabbits are put into a field, how many pairs will there be: a) at the end of each month, and b) at the end of one year? Criteria: Rabbits are fully-grown at 1 month and have another pair of bunnies at 2 months. Prior to reading, present the rabbit problem.The extras, like the Ration Book and the Newspaper, contain great launch items for statistics discussions. A small sign keeps the reader updated as to how many pairs are now living in Fibonacci’s Field. The paper engineering is creative and the narrative is told through a series of “problems” that the ever increasing population experiences each month. The problem of how many pairs of rabbits will you have after 1 year if you start with 1 pair and they each take 1 month to mature and produce 1 other pair each month afterwards is illustrated through a calendar. This is a representation of the classic Fibonacci problem of reproducing rabbits. This activity is based on the picture book The rabbit problem
