The Rabbit Problem

In Fibonacci's field in January, there is just one rabbit. In February, another rabbit joins them. In March they have a pair of baby rabbits, making two pairs of rabbits in the field. Follow the story of the rabbits throughout the year as they have more and more babies. Younger children will enjoy following the calendar and looking at all of the different things that happen in each month of the year, as well as counting the rabbits on the page. Older children can use this story as a starting point for exploring the Fibonacci numbers.
