Peer reviewedSullivan, Mary M.; Panasuk, Regina M. – School Science and Mathematics, 1997
Presents a mathematical puzzle that asks about "missing" area and leads to an exploration of the Fibonacci sequence as well as genuine inquiry in plane geometry connected to algebra. Discusses the inquiry, the concepts, the solution, and an extension that deepens all students' understanding of the connections between algebra and…
