Fibonacci Sequence

The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two. It begins with 0 and 1, and the next terms are generated by adding the preceding two terms. Ratios of numbers in the Fibonacci sequence approximate the golden ratio, which is considered the most aesthetically pleasing proportion. Students are given exercises to find specific terms in the Fibonacci sequence, evaluate sums of terms, and determine patterns in those sums.

SEQUENCE
♥ It is an ordered list of numbers, called terms,
that may have repeated values
♥ The arrangements of these terms is set by
definite rule
♥ The terms of a sequence could be
generated by applying the rule to previous
terms of the sequence
