Now, the Golden Ratio. It has fascinated layman and mathematician for centuries. It seems like magic that it turns up in such different arenas as pine cones, earth-moon and planet relationships, the Cheops Pyramid in Egypt, the Mona Lisa and even our DNA. Indeed its widespread appearance shows that there is a unifying mathematical principle that is more subtle than science has thus far been able to define. Below the line is an activity that is two pages long,
of interest to students aged 10-adult and that requires about fifth-grade math knowledge
to successfully complete. Feel free to select a page at a time
and print the selection for use in a classroom or homeschooling setting.
