6 Fascinating Places to See the Fibonacci Sequence
article from Mental Floss

The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which
each digit reflects the sum of the two preceding numbers,
as shown below:

So what? You may ask.So this: "The sequence is in
everything from cabbages to music to ocean waves.
It can also be found in the form of the golden ratio,
also known as Phi and expressed numerically as 1.618."

Photos and videos show the many ways the sequence
is shown in science, nature, music, finance, astronomy,
art... Sunflowers, pine cones, human fingers, snail shells,
ram horns, ants, a hawk's flight, ancient Greek temples,
financial techniques, the shape of galaxies*, orbits of
planets, Saturn's rings, and your ears!
(*Spiral galaxies like the Milky Way, Galaxy M81, and
the Andromeda nebula all resemble the golden spiral.")
It's everywhere!

100,000 Digits of Pi Just in case you ever wanted to know, here are the first 100,000 digits of pi, on one page.
Pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter.
"Circumference is the distance around the edge of a circle. It is a type of perimeter."
"Diameter is a straight line going through the center of a circle connecting two points on the circumference."

Credit for the quotes and the graphic = MathIsFun

Pi expressed as a Base 10 digital number = 3.14159...> infinity.
Learners who move on past algebra and geometry can leave the digits behind,
and start using radians as they start trigonometry.

Kudos to Michael Estela, who emailed GSFK about his site!

 

Comparison of Recent and Historic Earthquakes by Energy Release From the US NWS Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, this Youtube animated graphic compares the sizes of quakes using expanding, overlaid circles. Quakes range from the 5.8 in Virginia 2011 to a 9.5 monster in Chile, 1960. It's really easy to see the changes as the Richter Scale number increases. A 1.0 point change makes a big difference, and even a 0.1 change is noticeable. BTW the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) does not use the Richter Scale anymore. It's been replaced by the moment magnitude scale, which is more accurate.

Anyone who truly wants to may read all the physics they can hold here. Reading these online is free but legally getting hard copies costs money. Around US$130 give or take. (We really need to do up a Physics site, a Chemistry site, etc, etc, etc.)

Foucault Pendulum

"Due to the pendulums inertia, once started, it will
oscillate in the same plane forever. However, since
the pendulum is on Earth which rotates about its
own axis, from our rotating point of view the
pendulum’s plane of oscillation seems to be what’s
rotating. The period of rotation depends on your latitude
too: at the North Pole the pendulum rotates once a day
but at the equator it doesn’t rotate at all!"
Texas A&M Physics and Astronomy

GNUmber Munchers "is an educational math program based on MECC's early 80s munchers games, with new graphics." So writes Will Heublein, whose two fun and playable Number Munchers tributes are your freeware alternative to hunting down those old games and trying (usually without success) to make them run again. OK, so these are not exact clones of the MECC games, but they're close enough! We've been using them with elementary and middle school students for a few years now and they get the job done. No mouse needed, just use the arrow keys. GNUmber Munchers 2010 is an online beta version that runs fine on Internet Explorer. We wish more people would emulate Mr. Heublein and redo some of the good old MECC games! To download these games: Go to the very bottom of the GNUmber Munchers page where it says "Old Windows versions (Downloadable .exe files):" Standard version is for upper elementary/middle/jr high students, Elementary version is for elementary kids. What is GNU?

Meet the Math Professor Who’s Fighting Gerrymandering With Geometry
This link's from A Mighty Girl's Facebook site. The original article from The Chronicle
of Higher Education explains it in a more academic manner. Basically, Professor Moon Duchin
of Tufts University, "has helped create a program to train mathematicians to serve as expert
witnesses in court cases over redrawn electoral districts." Since courts all the way up to
the US Supreme Court, have problems understanding gerrymandering, this is a good plan to
overcome this evil practice. Read one or both articles, and learn.

Radian (this link goes Wikipedia) 360° was created by the Babylonians. All the measurements of angles in degrees come from them, too. Degree measurements are a fine tool for learning the basics of geometry and for everyday use. However, if you're a math geek, or would like to be (trigonometry, calculus, and so forth), or if you need to learn maths past algebra, you'd do well to learn the ways of radians. MathWithBadDrawings has a good explanation of how radians work. For those who want a video, Khan Academy has a good series. MathIsFun has a good and simple explanation that's easy to follow.

 

An arc of a circle with the same length as the radius of that circle corresponds to an angle of 1 radian. A full circle corresponds to an angle of 2p radians.

Trigonometry Pile Up! "This resource is a challenging puzzle to consolidate learning on trigonometry. The idea is that pupils have to start with the information they have in the bottom triangle and work their way up through the stack, finding missing side lengths to allow them to calculate the length of the hypotenuse of the top triangle. The puzzle can be solved with trigonometry alone (finding missing sides and missing angles) or Pythagoras’ Theorem can be used at some points as well. This puzzle can also be used to clearly demonstrate why you shouldn’t round numbers mid-way through a calculation." You can download the puzzle from the site: "Click here to download the resource." gets you a BIG pdf pic of the puzzle. © 2012 greatmathsteachingideas.com
