Lesson 1.3 - Fibonacci Sequence and


the Golden Ratio
September 26 – October 01, 2022
Let us pray…
Almighty Father,
We thank you for the blessings and graces you have
bestowed upon us; for the time spent with our loved ones
and for the gifts given to us in our time of need.
We are also grateful that we are able to meet each other
for class despite the difficulties we currently face.
May this day prove to be a fruitful and productive time for
all of us; that each and every one here will be able to have
a wonderful learning experience even after this meeting
ends.
May the Lord our God bless us in Jesus' name, Amen.
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, you must be able to:
1. acquire the knowledge about the Fibonacci
Sequence and how this sequence is related to the
Golden Ratio.
2. determine the nth term in the Fibonacci
sequence using the Golden Ratio.
3. express appreciation of the Fibonacci Sequence
and the Golden Ratio in nature and in the human
body.

Who is Fibonacci?
• A Famous Mathematician
• Fibonacci (117-1250) is a
short for the Latin “filius
Bonacci” which means “the
son of Bonacci” but his full
name is Leonardo Pisano.
• He introduced the Hindu-
Arabic number system into
Europe.

Who is Fibonacci?
• Fibonacci observed
numbers in nature. His most
popular contributions is the
number that is seen in the
petals of Flowers.
• These are the Fibonacci

The
Magic
Of
Fibonacci
Numbers
Why do honeybees love Hexagon?
“The Magic of Fibonacci” by Arthur Benjamin
1. Three reasons why we learn mathematics.
2. The speaker’s favorite collection of numbers.
3. The most important application of Math according to
the speaker
4. Mathematics as a science of pattern teaches us how to
think ____________, ____________, _____________.
5. The speaker’s parting words: “Mathematics is not just
________________________________________.
Fibonacci Number can be
observed in petals of a
flower and is often a
number present in the
Fibonacci sequence.
Surprisingly these petal
counts represent the first
eleven numbers of the
Fibonacci sequence.

This we get the following
sequence of numbers:
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144…
This sequence, in which each
number is the sum of two
previous number is called
Fibonacci Sequence.
So there is the simple rule: Add
the last two to get the next! Image taken from atomstalk.com

Fibonacci Sequence in Nature
The Fibonacci numbers
can be found in
pineapples and bananas.
Bananas have 3 or 5 flat
sides.
Pineapple scales have
Fibonacci spirals in sets of
8,13,21.

The Golden Ratio
The Golden Ratio is an irrational mathematical
constant approximately equals to 1.6180339887
The Golden Ratio is often denoted by the Greek
letter 𝝋 (Phi)
So 𝝋 = 1.6180339887
The Golden Ratio is also known as:
• Golden Section
• Divine proportion
• Divine section
• Mean of Phidias
• Extreme and Mean ratio
• Medial section
The Golden Ratio Formula
One interesting thing about Phi is its reciprocal

It is highly unusual for the decimal integers of a number and


its reciprocal to be exactly the same.
The Golden Ratio in Nature

Nautilus shells, one of


the most iconic
examples of the
Fibonacci sequence, the
chambers in the
Nautilus increase in size
with a ratio of 1.618.

The Golden Ratio in Art
Mona Lisa’s face is a perfect
golden rectangle, according
to the ratio of the width of
her forehead compared to
the length from the top of
her head to her chin.
Leonardo Da Vinci called it
the “divine proportion”.

Relation between Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Ratio

The Fibonacci sequence is 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34, 55…


Is there a formula for the nth Fibonacci number F(n) in terms of
only n?
Yes! Binet’s Formula uses the Golden Ratio in finding the nth
term in the Fibonacci Sequence.

A more simplified form of Binet’s Formula can be used:


where :
𝒏 = 𝒏𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒎
𝝋 = 𝟏. 𝟔𝟏𝟖 (Golden Ratio)
𝟓 = 2.236
Try This!
Using Binet’s formula, find the following term in the Fibonacci
Sequence.

a. 50th term
b. 100th term
c. 15th term
Try This!
Answers

a. 50th term = 1.2573435858 x 1010


b. 100th term = 3.543922758 x 1020
c. 15th term = 609.82 ≈ 610
Activity! Who is more Golden?
Are you Golden?
This dyad activity will further deepen your appreciation of
Fibonacci Sequence and The Golden Ratio (φ=1.618),
enhance your predictions and measuring skills, and enjoy
mathematics. Use a meter stick/tape measure or ruler.
Direction: In five minutes, you investigate several body
measurements which you suspect have golden or nearly
golden ratio. Determine who is more golden or nearly
golden between the two of you.
ACTIVITY: Are You Golden?
Golden: if s/he has at least five highlighted ratios within
1.500 ≤ R ≤ 1.800

Nearly Golden: if s/he has at least three or four


highlighted ratios within 1.500 ≤ R ≤ 1.800

Far from Golden: if s/he has at most two highlighted


ratios within 1.500 ≤ R ≤ 1.800
