Designed for elementary and middle school students	Fibonacci Numbers   Fibonacci numbers are 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, … where each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers.  They are named after Leonardo Pisano (nicknamed Fibonacci) of Pisa, Italy.  He lived from 1170 – 1250.  The pattern of numbers grow much larger than you might imagine.  If one is the first Fibonacci number, find the 20th Fibonacci number?
