Title Week 7 | Session 13 - ACTIVITY: Fibonacci's Sequence

The Fibonacci sequence is one of the most well-known number

sequences in Mathematics. Its first 2 terms are 1, 1, and each succeeding
term is obtained by adding the 2 terms that come before it. Thus, the first
Description few terms of the Fibonacci sequence are as follows:

11235…

1. List down the next 30 terms of the Fibonacci sequence.

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,

2. Highlight every 3rd number in the sequence orange. What do you
notice about the numbers? Write down your observation below.
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597,
