Activity B.2.2 Drawing the Fibonacci Spiral
Using the graphing paper, you will now draw a spiral. You need to estimate which square you will start (not in
the middle). You may also extend your graphing paper to make it bigger if you have a bigger space in your
work area.
Step 1. Draw a square (S) that measures one centimeter on a side. You can just estimate the measure if
you do not have a ruler.
Step 2. Draw a second square to the right (R) of the first square (S) that measures one centimeter on a side.
Step 3. Draw a third square above (A) the 2 squares previously drawn that measure two centimeters on a
side.
Step 4. Draw a fourth square to the left (L) of the other three squares that measure three centimeters on a
side.
Step 5. Draw a fifth square below (B) the other four squares that measure five centimeters on a side.
Step 6. Continue this pattern (R-A-L-B) until you have filled up the graphing paper with the same number of
squares as a side for the next set of squares.
