Warm-up

The opening five minutes — a scene that sparks curiosity

MathematicianThales of Miletus

Open with Thales of Miletus. Ask students what they notice and what question the resource raises before introducing the formal idea.

Explore

Core lesson — students manipulate, notice, and explain

Visual geometry🐚 The Golden Rectangle — Cut a Square, Get Another (φ)

Let students explore The Golden Rectangle — Cut a Square, Get Another (φ), then ask them to describe the pattern, argument, or representation in their own words.

MathematicianFibonacci

Let students explore Fibonacci, then ask them to describe the pattern, argument, or representation in their own words.

Extend

Extension or assignment — for students ready to go further

ConceptFractal

Use Fractal as an extension or assignment that connects the lesson to a broader mathematical story.

MathematicianBenoît Mandelbrot

Use Benoît Mandelbrot as an extension or assignment that connects the lesson to a broader mathematical story.
