All about Fibonacci Numbers

The Fibonacci sequence starts with 0 and 1, and each new number is the sum of the two before it. It continues 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 and so on.

Fibonacci numbers appear in nature, such as the spirals of sunflowers and pine cones.

Each new number is found by adding the two numbers before it. So after 0 and 1 comes 1, then 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 and so on. The sequence is named after the Italian mathematician Fibonacci.

They are a great example of how a simple rule can create a pattern that appears all around us.
