We can generate the Fibonacci Sequence of numbers by adding the previous two numbers together to work out the next term.

First and second terms:

We start with 0, 1

0+1=1, so the third term is 1.

Sequence: 0, 1, 1

Fourth Term:

1+1=2

Sequence: 0, 1, 1, 2

Fifth Term:

1+2=3

Sequence: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3

We can continue to follow the pattern to generate an infinite sequence.

The Fibonacci Sequence:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, …

The Fibonacci Sequence forms a spiral that is seen throughout nature.
