The Fibonacci Sequence

 Learning Competency

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to

illustrate other types of sequences (e.g., harmonic,
Fibonacci).
 Objectives

At the end of this lesson, the learners should be able to

do the following:

● Properly identify the Fibonacci sequence.

● Correctly find the nth term of the Fibonacci sequence.
● Correctly find the value of a Fibonacci series.
We can observe
patterns and
sequences present
in nature. Take
into consideration
different flowers
and observe the
naturally
occurring pattern
of the number of
petals.
 Essential Questions

● How can you identify the Fibonacci sequence?

● How can you find the nth term of the Fibonacci sequence?

● How can you find the sum of indicated terms of the

Fibonacci sequence?

Fibonacci Sequence
It is a sequence where each term after the second term is
obtained by adding the two preceding terms.

Example:
The sequence is a Fibonacci sequence whose next two terms
are and .

Fibonacci Numbers
These are the terms of the Fibonacci sequence; starts with two
1’s; denoted by .

Example:
The first ten Fibonacci numbers are 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34,
and 55.

Even-numbered Terms
These are terms of the Fibonacci sequence, where is an even
number.

Example:
In the Fibonacci sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, …, the
first 5 even-numbered terms are 1, 3, 8, 21, and 55.

Odd-numbered Terms
These are terms of the Fibonacci sequence, where is an odd
number

Example:
In the Fibonacci sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, …, the
first 5 odd-numbered terms are 1, 2, 5, 13, and 34.

Example 1: In the Fibonacci sequence, find the next four

terms after 34 and 55.
 Solution to Let’s Practice

Example 1: In the Fibonacci sequence, find the next four

terms after 34 and 55.
Solution:
To find the next Fibonacci number, add 34 and 55. Continue
in this manner until the next four terms are determined.
 Solution to Let’s Practice

Example 1: In the Fibonacci sequence, find the next four

terms after 34 and 55.
Solution:
Therefore, the next four Fibonacci numbers are 89, 144, 233,
and 377.
