Golden Fibonacci and Ratios

Young scholars investigate ratios and percents and convert between the two. In this algebra lesson, students write ratios using fractions. They write percents as fractions and decimals and they apply the concepts of the Fibonacci...

One ratio to rule them all. Young mathematicians investigate the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio. To begin the first lesson, they use a spreadsheet to see how the Fibonacci sequence gives the Golden Ratio. The second lesson...

Lead your class on a search for precious bones. Using a presentation, the class investigates the golden ratio in art and nature. Groups of pupils measure specific bones and find the average ratio for the class. To further cement the...

In this golden rectangles worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 6 different problems that include measuring the length and width of rectangles. First, they use the chart given to calculate the rectangles that are golden rectangles....

Students study the golden ratio approach using rectangles and a pentagram and make connections about proportional relationships. In this ratio relationships lesson plan, students describe ratio relationships as decimals and make...

In this math patterns worksheet, students review the beginning numbers in Fibonacci's numbers, find the pattern, follow directions and problem solve to find the Golden Number and complete a chart, measure lengths of body parts and find...

Excite the class with a mathematical trick, a calculator, and a good number sense. They use the directions provided on each slide to make a list of numbers, use their calculator to divide, and find the golden mean. A little history on...

Fe, phi, fo, fum. This activity leads pairs to find the ratio of consecutive terms of the Fibonacci sequence. The pairs find that the Fibonacci sequence can be found in many places. A discussion with the class shows that the ratios found...

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...

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.
