The Geek House

We have some small children learning their math facts and I was trying to encourage them.  So the other night at the dinner table I asked, "Who can count by fours?"

Owen immediately started, "4, 8, 12, 16, ..."

When Connor interrupted with, "Who can count by fibonacci?"

And Ellery started in counting, "0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, ..."

The rest of the evening was spent discussing the marvels of fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio.
