This article by Carlo Sanna, based on lectures by Michel Waldschmidt in the Proceedings of the Roman Number Theory Association contains common applications of continued fractions, some of which can be used as motivation.
There is this interesting article about the application of continued fractions in Phyllotaxis, the research on leaves, which I found pretty interesting. Maybe you can find more over google? ${}{}{}{}{}{}$
