Fibonacci/ratios

This week in 7th grade math the class will continue to learn about Fibonacci and we will then start our next unit (unit 6) on ratios/proportions/percents.  Yesterday we looked at number patterns inside of the Fibonacci sequence and discovered the connection between the Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Ratio.  Today we measured our faces and our bodies and discovered the the golden ration is all over our bodies (see pictures below).  I then placed the students into one of the five Fibonacci groups: nature, art/beauty, architecture, music, and history.  They will then be responsible to make a keynote presentation and a product of some sort related to their topic.  We will also be learning about ratios, unit rates, and proportions this week.

Ask your child about Fibonacci?  What group are they in?  Why did they chose their group?  Where does the golden ratio come from?
