Start with a Circle...
The Golden Ratio. The Divine Proportion. Yup. It's math and art blended into one colorful activity. Young artists combine colored tissue paper circles and parts of circles to create geometric patterns. As a bonus, kids get to figure out...

Golden Ratio
Tenth graders investigate the Golden Ratio. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders explore the Fibonacci sequence in the context of The Fibonacci Rabbit problem. Students examine how the ratio of two consecutive Fibonacci number create...

Class of Gold
How can you see a number in nature? Here, learners discover both Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio by exploring a number of different resources. Note: Some of the resources are older and may be missing some of the links, but the...

As Good As Gold
Students find examples of the Golden Ratio on the human body through measurement. Additionally, students learn about the use of the Golden Ratio and the Golden Rectangle in art and architecture. A very interesting lesson plan for the...

There's Gold in Them Thar Ratios
Students draw a model of the bunny problem which generates the Fibonacci Sequence, spirals generated from golden rectangles and golden triangles; identify the golden ratio in the human body, and find the Fibonacci numbers in nature.

Golden Connections
Students determine the ratio of pairs of consecutive terms in the Fibonacci Sequence. Using four different colors, they create a golden rectangle in either two or three dimensions. They use photographs to create two collages using...

Art and the Golden Ration
Learners manipulate several metric measuring devices to become competent in their use. Students work cooperatively to complete a worksheet based on the Golden Ration. Learners observe example of sculptures from different cultures and...

Exploring the Golden Rectangle
Pupils will construct a golden section and a golden rectangle and study their characteristics and connections with the Fibonacci series. They import pictures from the internet and download them into the Sketchpad. Using their "golden"...
Curated OER
Are you in Golden Shape
Students solve and verify the solution for unknown measures. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of circles. They use the arc, angle and segment relationship to find the missing measures.

Symmetry: Theory, Reality and Art!
Students explore the concept of geometric symmetry. For this geometric symmetry lesson, students walk around their school and take pictures of objects that demonstrate symmetry. Students use Microsoft Paint to draw the lines of symmetry...
