About FibonacciFibonacci was an Italian mathematician from the Middle Ages who came up with a series of numbers called Fibonacci numbers.
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5…
Fibonacci NumbersThe Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers that creates a pattern.
Have a go:
The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it.
So, 1 is found by adding the two numbers before it (0+1) and so on!

The Fibonacci spiral actually looks a lot like a nautilus shell. In fact, you will find lots of Fibonacci spirals in nature, from flowers to pinecones to pineapples! Look out for them…
Colour the
pattern!
Using the spiral
as a centre point,
draw a rose
What do you think of the pattern on the right?
Can you see how it is made?
Do you like the proportions of the spiral? ©N

Fibonacci SpiralsWhen we make squares with those widths, we get a nice spiral.
