FIBONACCI

IN NATURE
PRESENTED BY: MS. JUDELYN M. CORBE
FIBONACCI IN SUNFLOWER
In many sunflowers, the number of
clockwise spirals and the number of
counterclockwise spirals are consecutive
Fibonacci numbers. The number of
clockwise spirals is 34 and the number of
counterclockwise spirals is 55.
 FIBONACCI IN PINEAPPLE
The nubs on many pineapples form 8
spirals that rotate diagonally upward to
the left and 13 spirals that rotate
diagonally upward to the right. The
numbers 8 and 13 are consecutive
Fibonacci numbers.
FIBONACCI IN PLANTS
FIBONACCI IN FRUITS
FIBONACCI IN ANIMALS

The shell of the

chambered Nautilus has
Golden proportions. It is
a logarithmic spiral.
The eyes, fins and tail of the dolphin fall at
golden sections along the body.
A starfish has 5 arms.
FIBONACCI IN HUMANS
 MATHEMATICS HELPS
ORGANIZE PATTERNS AND
REGULARITIES IN THE WORLD
Patterns have underlying mathematical structures.
Every living or nonliving thing in the world may
seem to follow a certain pattern on their own.
The mystery of Fibonacci sequence and the golden
ratio as common patterns in nature.
 MATHEMATICS HELPS PREDICT THE
BEHAVIOR OF NATURE AND THE WORLD

Mathematics help predict

the location, size and
timing of natural disasters.
