      Extensions: Math/History/Art (Leonardo of Pisa: Fibonacci) The Golden Mean Adaptations: ESL will be able to visualize Golden Ratio - proportions of art and architecture.  Special Ed will work in small groups paired with good math students. Teacher will provide completed sample of spiral and objects from nature that show this spiral.

      Extensions: This math activity could be connected with art if the students used this shape to create a design and decorate image with color and texture. Adaptations: ELL & Special Ed students can benefit from small group instruction with this activity - help from peers for measuring.  The art aspect would help to engage learners with learning math concepts from nature by showing examples of spiral in shells, or other objects in nature.

      Extensions: Connect Life Science with LA - Write predictions and observations in an Ant Observation Journal. Adaptations: ESL & Special Ed Students can draw pictures in their journal to show their knowledge.  A movie on the topic could be provided to extend knowledge after journals are complete to assess accuracy of predictions.  Gifted students can predict what the ants will need for their habitat/survival.
