Use your HAND , ELBOW, FEET length to calculate your classroom length
EXERCISE 1:
From Ancient times, men used parts of their bodies to measure .
So,
Match these body measures with their meaning
Digit:
28th part of a
cubit.
Width of a
finger.
Approx
Inch:
Width of man's thumb
Palm:
Width of man's palm
Hand:
Width of man's hand
Span:
Width of man's spread fingers
11.6 inches (approx). Rom
an
Roman foot:
EXERCISE 2a:
Match these measures with the numbers
Palm:
3 inches
Hand: 4 inches
Span:
9 inches
11.6 inches (approx)
Roman foot: 30,5cm
foot:
EXERCISE 2b:
Use the following words in order to build a sentence that explains what the volume is. You have to use some extra words
VOLUME OBJECTS COMPARE
IS NOT VOLUME VOLUME TIMES
FITS
EXERCISE 3:
This is a cube which sides measure 1 metre: 1 cubic metre
How many people could you put inside ?
Check your answer using the cubic metre and your classmates
EXERCISE 4:
Do you know this picture?
Make a list of some mathematical content you can find in it
EXERCISE 5:
This is the Vitruvian man by Leonardo da Vinci
The golden ratio, also known as the divine proportion or golden section, is a number often encountered when taking the ratios of distances in simple geometric figures such as the pentagon, pentagram, decagon and dodecahedron.
Do you know the golden ratio?
THE GOLDEN RECTANGLE
SIDES RATIO 1:x
the a into unique in rectangle the sides results original in as has rectangle the defined also new partitioning is which and that PHI rectangle square such ratio new a number
WRITE THIS SENTENCE IN ORDER:
ANSWER: PHI is defined as the unique number such that partitioning the original rectangle into a square and new rectangle results in a new rectangle which also has sides in the ratio
PHI: 1 = 1: PHI-1
EXERCISE 6:
• Phi is one of the two great treasures of geometry
• Phi or , which is 1.618 0339 887 ..., was described by Johannes Kepler as one of the "two great treasures of geometry." (The other is the Theorem of Pythagoras.)
LOOK FOR THE GOLDEN NUMBER IN YOUR BODY PARTS
Let’s have a look at your index finger:
Consider that your fingernail is 1 unit in length and complete the following table:
Fingernail Pink Line Green Line Yellow Line Blue Line
1
EXERCISE 7:
We divide each by the number before it, we will find the following series of numbers:
1/1 = 1, 2/1 = 2, 3/2 = 1·5, 5/3 = 1·666..., 8/5 = 1·6, 13/8 = 1·625, 21/13 = 1·61538...
Each section of your index finger, from the tip to the base of the wrist, is larger than the preceding one by about the Fibonacci ratio of 1.618, also fitting the Fibonacci numbers 2, 3, 5 and 8.
The ratio seems to be settling down to a particular value, which we call the golden ratio or the golden number
.
Calculate the ratio of your forearm to hand:
Let’s see some other ratios
Your hand creates a golden section in relation to your arm, as the ratio of your forearm to your hand is also 1.618, the Divine Proportion.
COULD YOU FIND THE GOLDEN NUMBER IN OTHER PARTS OF YOUR BODY?
EXERCISE 8:
BODY
The human body is based on Phi and 5The human body illustrates the Golden Section or Divine Proportion. We'll use the same building blocks again:
Check if the relation between a man’s height and his navel height is the golden relation
The Divine Proportion in the Body
Check if the relation between hip height and knee height is the golden relation
EXERCISE 9:
The human face abounds with examples of the Golden Section or Divine Proportion. We'll use our
building blocks again to understand design in the face:
The head forms a golden rectangle with the eyes at its midpoint. The mouth and nose are each placed at golden sections of the distance between the eyes and the bottom of the chin. The beauty unfolds as you look further.
he human face is based entirely on Phi
The human face is based entirely on Phi
The Human Lungs
( ) It was determined that in all these divisions
( ) This asymmetrical division continues into the subsequent subdivisions of the bronchi.
( ) one long (the left) and the other short (the right).
( ) The windpipe divides into two main bronchi,
( ) the proportion of the short bronchus to the long was always 1/1.618.
Number the following lines in the correct order:
EXERCISE 10:
LOOK AT THESE EXAMPLES:
The DNA spiral is a Golden Section
HEALTH AND PROPORTIONFill in the gaps with one of the following words:
breathing / shorter / length / cheek/ health /race
Ideal facial proportions are universal regardless of .........., sex and age, and are based on the phi ratio of 1.618. For example, if the width of the face from .......... to .......... is 10 inches, then the .......... of the face from the top of the head to the bottom of the chin should be 16.18 inches to be in ideal proportion.
Deviations from this ideal can result in .......... problems. Corrective procedures that return the face to this ideal can improve ........... For example: People with longer than ideal faces tend to have ..........problems, people with .......... than ideal faces tend to have jaw problems or headaches.
EXERCISE 11:
What volume do you think you occupy?
EXERCISE 12:
Think about different ways to measure or calculate your volume.
Discuss with your classmates if all the methods are possible or not.
EXERCISE 13:
Write your conclusions about how you would measure the volume of any irregular object
EXERCISE 14:
