Sample questions

  1. A Fibonacci sequence fragment is ___, ___, ___, ... Find the next term.
  2. What is term ___ of 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, ...?
  3. Insert the missing Fibonacci term: ___, X, ___.
  4. The shorter side of a golden rectangle is ___ cm. Approximate the longer side using 1.618.
  5. The longer side of a golden rectangle is ___ cm. Approximate the shorter side.

Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio

In the Fibonacci sequence, every term from the third onward is the sum of the two preceding terms: Fₙ = Fₙ₋₁ + Fₙ₋₂. Check the stated starting values and indexing convention.

The golden ratio

The golden ratio φ satisfies φ = 1 + 1/φ, giving φ = (1 + √5)/2. Ratios of consecutive Fibonacci numbers approach φ but are generally not exactly equal to it at a finite step. In geometry, match the ratio of the longer to shorter part with the ratio of the whole to the longer part.
