Objectives of the Lesson

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


1. discuss the contribution of Fibonacci in
mathematics
2. explain how the Fibonacci sequence came
about
3. find and relate the Fibonacci number with
things and happenings in the environment.
Who is Fibonacci?
Leonardo Pisano or Leonardo of Pisa
• He was born in Pisa, Italy, in 1170.
• He was recognized and well known for
popularizing the Hindu-Arabic numeral system
or decimal system in Europe.
• He advocated the use of the digits 0 to 9 and of
the place values.
• He is popularly known as Fibonacci, a shortened
word for the Latin term "fillius Bonacci," which
means "son of Bonacci" because his father was
Guglielmo Bonaccio.
Who is Fibonacci?
Leonardo Pisano or Leonardo of Pisa

• He discovered one of the famous formulas in


mathematics, the FIBONACCI SEQUENCE.

• Fibonacci was able to find this number sequence


while looking at how generations of rabbits
breed.
Let’s Discover the Fibonacci Sequence
1. Start with a baby male and a baby female rabbit (Generation 0 or G0).

2. This pair will mature in Generation 1 (G1) and can reproduce a pair in
Generation 2 (G2).

3. This sequence continues, as in the illustration that follows.

Note: It is to be assumed that no rabbit is to die in the process.


Let’s Discover the Fibonacci Sequence
Legends:
𝑟𝑚 = baby male rabbit
𝑟𝐹 = baby female
rabbit
𝑟𝑀 = matured male
rabbit
𝑅𝐹 = matured female
rabbit
Where can you find the Fibonacci Sequence?

• The Fibonacci sequence application can be seen in


nature, on phenomena, on the human body, and in
photographs.
I. Fibonacci Sequence in Nature
1. In the number of petals of flowers
• Many flowers follow the numbers in the Fibonacci sequence
about the number of petals they possess naturally. These are
some examples:
I. Fibonacci Sequence in Nature
1. In the number of sections in fruits
• When we observe fruits, we may notice that their number of
sections is in the Fibonacci sequence.
II. The Fibonacci Spiral

• Using the first ten (10) numbers in the Fibonacci


sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 as dimensions of
adjacent squares, you can create a Fibonacci spiral. When
arranged in a certain way, the Fibonacci sequence creates
a special spiral pattern.
How to create the Fibonacci Spiral?
1. In creating a Fibonacci spiral, begin by
drawing two 1 x 1 squares.
• Draw a 2 x 2 square using the sides of the
rectangle formed by the first two squares.
• Draw a 3 x 3 square using the sides of the
second rectangle formed. You will notice
that the sides of the squares are Fibonacci
numbers.
• Continue drawing squares using the
Fibonacci numbers as sides of the squares.
How to create the Fibonacci Spiral?
2. In creating a spiral-like shape, draw curves in the squares
beginning with the 1 x 1 squares.
Where can you find the Fibonacci Spiral?

The Fibonacci spiral is


seen in the nautilus shell
Where can you find the Fibonacci Spiral?

The Fibonacci spiral can be


observed in photographs of
storms, specifically
hurricanes, and tornadoes.
Where can you find the Fibonacci Spiral?

The sunflower seeds are


another example where we
can see the Fibonacci spiral.
Where can you find the Fibonacci Spiral?

Fibonacci numbers are


present on the spirals that
appear on the skin of
pineapples and pine cones.
The number of spirals found
in them belongs to the
Fibonacci numbers.
Where can you find the Fibonacci Spiral?

There are some parts in the


body where the Fibonacci
spiral is evident.
