    Module in Fibonacci Sequence

    The Fibonacci sequence is a sequence where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, starting with 0 and 1. The ratio of numbers in the Fibonacci sequence approach the golden ratio, approximately 1.618, as the numbers increase. This ratio and the Fibonacci sequence appear frequently in patterns in nature, such as the spiral arrangement of seeds in sunflowers and the number of petals in flowers. The golden rectangle, which has a length-to-width ratio of the golden ratio, can be constructed using the Fibonacci sequence.

    The Fibonacci sequence

    Topic: THE FIBONACCI SEQUENCE

    Learning Objectives:
    1.) Generate patterns by performing one or several mathematical operations repeatedly
    2.) Appreciate the nature and uses of mathematics in everyday life
    Lesson proper:

    A sequence is an ordered list of numbers, called terms, that may have repeated values. The
    arrangement of these terms is set by a definite rule.
    Examples:
    Analyze the given sequence for its rule and identify the next three terms
    1.) 1, 10, 100, 1000
    Solution:
    Looking at a set of numbers, it can be observed that each term is a power of 10: 1=10 0, 10=101,
    100=102, and 1000=103. Following these rule, the next three terms are 104=10,000, 105=100,000
    and 106=1,000,000
    2.) 2, 5, 9, 14, 20
    Solution:
    The difference between the first and second terms (2 and 5) is 3. The difference between the second
    and third terms (5 and 9) is 4. The difference between the third and fourth terms (9 and 14) is 5.
    Following this rule, it can be deduced that to obtain the next three terms, we should add 7, 8, 9,
    respectively, to the current term. Hence, the next three terms, are 20+7=27, 27+8=35 and
    35+9=44.

    Fibonacci sequence
    The Fibonacci sequence is an infinite sequence of natural numbers where first value is 0, the
    next is 1 and from there, each amount is obtained by adding the previous two. It is named after the
    Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, who was better known by his nickname Fibonacci. He is said
    to have discovered this sequence as he looked at how a hypothesized group of rabbits bred and
    reproduced.
    According to some scholarly articles, Fibonacci sequence is evident in the number of
    variations of a particular category of Sanskrit and Prakrit poetry meters. In poetry, meters feres to
    the rhythmic pattern of syllables.

    Starting with 0 and 1, the succeeding terms in the sequence can be generated by adding the two
    numbers that came before the term:
    0+1=1
    01+1=2
    011+2=3
    0112+3=5
    01123+5=8
    0 1 1 2 3 5 + 8 = 13
    0 1 1 2 3 5 8 + 13 = 21
    0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181 …

    Vila admits he made a mistake in the animation for the Nautilus shell. It is neither a Fibonacci spiral
    nor a golden spiral.

    Properties of Fibonacci sequence


    Pattern is visible in nature. Some of nature’s most beautiful patterns like the spiral
    arrangement of sunflower seeds, the number of petals in a flower contain Fibonacci numbers.
    The ratios of successive Fibonacci numbers approach the number 𝜑 (Phi), also known as the
    Golden ratio. This is approximately 1.618

    Golden Rectangle (Vila 2016)

    How the golden rectangle is formed?


    The construction of golden rectangle viewed using GSP (Geometer’s Sketchpad). First
    constructed by Pythagoras in the 6th Century BCE, Golden Rectangles can be formed easily by using
    adjacent terms of the Fibonacci series. The ratio between successive Fibonacci numbers is
    approximately Phi.
    How do you make a golden rectangle?
    A golden rectangle can be constructed with only straightedge and compass by your simple
    steps:
    1. Construct a simple square.
    2. Draw a line from the midpoint of one side to
    the square to an opposite corner.
    3. Use that line as the radius to draw an arc that
    defines the height of the rectangle.
    4. Complete the golden rectangle.

    The Fibonacci sequence

    In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of
    their sum to the larger of the two quantities.
    The Golden ratio is a special number found by dividing a line into two parts so that the longer
    part divided by the smaller part is also equal to the whole length divided by the longer part.
    It is often symbolized using phi, after the 21st letter of the Greek alphabet.
    The Golden Ratio. Throughout history, the ratio for length to width of rectangles of 1.61803
    39887 49894 84820 has been considered the most pleasing to the eye. This ratio was named
    the golden by the Greeks. In the world of mathematics, the numeric value is called “phi”
    named for the Greek sculptor Phidians.
    Shapes and figures that bear this proportion are generally considered to be aesthetically
    pleasing. As such, this ratio is visible in many works of art and architecture such as in the
    Mona Lisa, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Parthenon.
