Making your first Fibonacci spiral: First, get some graph paper, and with a pencil,
draw two parallel lines 13 squares long. One on top of the other; look at
the picture below; the two lines are the top and bottom of the rectangle.
Next, join the ends of the two lines to make a rectangle. Next, you draw a
line at the eighth square to make a square 8 boxes long and eight boxes
high. The box you just made is box eight below. Next, in the upper
right-hand corner, draw another square 5 boxes long by five boxes high,
that will be square number 5 in the picture below. Then, you draw
another square, three boxes by three boxes, where the number 3 box is below. Next,
you draw a square of 2 boxes by two boxes like the one below. Next two by 2,
and the next one by 1.
Then, you draw your spiral, which will look
something like this.
