Determining the value of π experimentallyIn this activity, students use circular objects to find the value of pi (π) experimentally. It can be used as a lab activity in Science classes where students practice their data collection and graphing skills. OR, math teachers can use it as an activity for Pi Day. The activity goes over two methods to plot the data collected: MS Excel and graph paper. For students who have not mastered MS Excel graphing skills yet, the activity involves a link that h

Determining the value of golden ratio experimentallyIn this activity, students use golden rectangles to find the value of phi ( φ) experimentally. It can be used as a lab activity in Science classes where students practice their data collection and graphing skills. OR, math teachers can use it as an activity for golden ratio related topics such as Fibonacci sequence. The activity goes over two methods to plot the data collected: MS Excel and graph paper. For students who have not mastered MS E
