QUESTION AND ANSWER
Does anyone know what Fibonacci’s Sequence is?
Fibonacci's sequence is a number series in which you find the next number by adding the two numbers before it. You can also subtract the two numbers after it and go the other way. But we will only be dealing with positives today.
For example: 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34 and so on.
ACTIVITY
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946, 17711, 28657, 46368, 75025, 121393, 196418, 317811 …
