C. FIBONACCI SEQUENCE
OBJECTIVES:
In this lesson, the students will learn what a Fibonacci sequence is, the relation in the nature, and they
will also learn to find the next term in some Fibonacci styles sequence.

FIBONACCI SEQUENCE
- named after the Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, who was better known by his nickname
Fibonacci.
- starting with 0 and 1, the succeeding terms in the sequence can be generated by adding the
number that came before the term.

The Fibonacci Sequence → 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, …

Explanation in sequencing →0+1=1, 1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+3=5, 3+5=8, 5+8=13, 8+13=21, …

Fibonacci observed numbers in F7 13 nature. His most popular contribution
perhaps is the number that is seen in F8 21 the petals of flowers. A calla lily
flower has 1 petal, trillium has 3, F9 34 hibiscus has 5, cosmos flower has 8,
corn marigold has 13, some asters F10 55 have 21, and a daisy can have 34, 55,
or 89 petals. Surprisingly, these F11 89 petals count represent the first
eleven numbers of the Fibonacci F12 144 numbers.

Activity
A. Find/ simplify Fibonacci numbers. Use the Fibonacci table to guide you.

1. F18

2. F17 + 10

3. F15 + 2

4. F12 / 8

5. F12 / 4

6. F6 + 7 + 8

7. F6 + F7 + F8

8. F7 x F10
9. F4 x 5
10. F8 / 2

B. Find the next term of this Fibonacci style sequence. Use the examples below to guide you.
Ex:
a. 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 b. -10, 5, -5, 0, -5, -5 c. 10.5, 15, 25.5, 40.5, 66, 106.5
5 + 8 = 13 0 + (-5) = -5 40.5 + 66 = 106.5

Ex:
d. 3x + 4y, 2x – 6y, 5x -2y, 7x – 8y, 12x – 10y → (5x – 2y) + (7x -8y) = 12x – 10y
e. 10–10m, 5–4m, 15–14m, 20–18m, 35 – 32m → (15–14m) +( 20–18m) = 35 – 32m
f. 1/2, - 1/4 , 1/4 , 0, 1/4 → 1/4 + 0 = 1/4
