If you look closely at the centre of a daisy, you will find that the yellow centre is not solid. It is made up of sets of spirals that go out from the centre. It’s not just daisies! Pinecones, pineapples, hurricanes, shells and even human ears show this pattern. To understand these spirals in nature, we have to meet a mathematician named Leonardo de Pisa, also known as Fibonacci. Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician who lived in the Middle Ages. He discovered the Golden Ratio, a sequence of numbers where each number is the sum of the two previous ones; 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13…This is the sequence which appears in so many places in buildings and in nature. Year Five investigated this in Maths and found many fascinating examples and facts.
