Leonardo Fibonacci was a cool dude. Today we discussed one of his "discoveries" (although he was really just the first to publish this finding). Fibonacci used a hypothetical situation involving rabbits to create the "Fibonacci Sequence." (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, .....) Be sure that you know how this sequence works and how to find the first few terms of the sequence.
Fibonacci numbers can be found everywhere, especially throughout nature. We looked at several examples in class today. In groups you created the famous Fibonacci Spiral, which we will put up on the wall soon. Take a look at the website tonight (the link is on the right), and look specifically at some of the objects with spirals. You will need to know this information for upcoming tests/quizzes!
Coming up:
- Tonight your only homework is to check out the website on Fibonacci
- Keep in mind that we will have a midterm very soon! More about this on Friday.
Posting for Points:
How many spirals does the website say a sunflower usually has? (more than one possible answer)

Large Sunflowers with 89 spirals
A smaller sunflower has 55 spirals
I think the average is 55
large sunflowers have 89 spirals and smaller ones have 55
fitty five
large sunflower= 89
small sunflower= 55
the larger sunflower has 89 spirals with 34 right spirals and 55 left spirals!!
large=89
small=55
89 and or 55
89 and 55 are the two possible answers
89 for the bigger ones
a large one has 89, a small one has 55
55 or 89
Large Sunflowers = 89
Small = 55
