Unraveling the Threads: Exploring the Life and the Works of Fibonacci and Its Implications for Math Education

Abstract

In this conference, I delve into the captivating works of Leonardo da Pisa, alias Fibonacci, (13th c.), a seminal figure in the history of mathematics. From Pisa to his travels across the Mediterranean, Fibonacci’s journey unfolds as we uncover his contributions to number theory, arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. Through an in-depth exploration of his famous Liber Abbaci, we gain insight into his profound impact on mathematical thought. My purpose aims to examine the enduring relevance of Fibonacci’s legacy in contemporary math education. By tracing the historical development of mathematical concepts elucidated by Fibonacci, we illuminate pathways for integrating historical context into modern pedagogy. From fostering curiosity through historical narratives to promoting problem-solving skills inspired by Fibonacci’s methods, we explore strategies for enhancing mathematical learning experiences.
