What do you notice about the patterns in the colouring? On another completed Fibonacci sheet, use your knowledge of divisibility rules to a) colour in blue the multiples of 5 b) colour in red the multiples of 3 c) underline the multiples of 6 What patterns can you see? What if you extend the sequence? Are there any patterns in the multiples of 10? The Golden (or Divine) Ratio has been talked about for thousands of years.People have shown that all things of great beauty have a ratio in their dimensions of a number around 1.618 1 1.618 2 = 1+1 3 = 1+2 5 = 2+3 8 = 3+5 13 = 5+8 21 = 8+13 34 = 13+21 55 = 21+34 89 = 34+55 144 = 55+89 1.5 1.666 1.6 1.625 1.615 1.619 1.618 1.618 1.618 ratio The ratio of pairs of Fibonacci numbers gets closer to the golden ratio * You can walk up steps by going up one at a time or two at a time. If you have three steps there are 3 ways you can walk up them: If there were 4 steps there are 5 ways. Here are just two: Can you find the other 3 ways????? Investigate how many ways there are to step up staircases with 1,2, 5 and 6 steps.Record your results in a table.Can you spot a pattern? 29 little boxes down 15 little boxes across 1 little square 1 1 Side Box Square Spiral 1 more little square 29 little boxes down 15 little boxes across 1 2 1 1 Side Box 2 x 2 square 29 little boxes down 15 little boxes across 2 3 1 2 1 1 Side Box 3 x 3 square 4 2 3 1 2 1 1 Side Box 3 x 3 square 4 2 3 1 2 1 1 Side Box Now complete the pattern to fill your page as m
