FIBONACCI SEQUENCE
   This
is an activity to develop pattern finding skills using one of the more
famous sequences, the Fibonacci Sequence.
ACTIVITY ONE
     Suppose you want to raise rabbits and you have obtained a pair of babies. 
They will produce one new pair a month beginning when they are two months
old, and each new pair will begin reproducing at the same age.  If  no rabbits
die, how many pairs will you have after ten months? _____________
      To solve this problem, complete the chart below:
1.

Month Adult Pairs Babies Pairs Young Pairs Total

1 0 1 0 1
2 0 0 1 1
3 1 1 0 2
4 1 1 1 3
5 2 2 1 5
6 3 3 2 8
7 5 5 3 13
8 8 8 5 21
9 13 13 8 34
10 21 21 13 55

ACTIVITY TWO

  A male bee (drone) has only one parent, his mother,   A female bee has both
father and mother. Thus a male bee has one parent, two grandparents, and
three great-grandparents (two from his grandmother and one from his
grandfather).  Complete the family tree for a male bee for ten generations
back, where each male is represented by Y and each female by X .

Generation 1 No. of Bees 1

Generation 2 No. of Bees 1

Generation 3 No. of Bees 2

Generation 4 No. of Bees 3
