Cool. Dear David ffred, dapontes and I are putting together math and science activities, games and puzzles and would like students to try these and give us feedback. Please go to my page and have your students try some of these. I am starting to go to 7th and 8th grade classes. Please contact me at baghevli2@worldbank.org so we can see how can serve students better.
Because it's the ratio between the lengths of the rectangle formed that is 'golden' - or at least; as the size of the spiral gets bigger, so the ratio between the sides becomes a better and better approximation to the golden ratio - look for examples of the golden ratio in architecture and nature.
Ah - the Golden Section and just a hint of Fibonacci. This is a wonderful topic for use in school (trying <impossibly> to avoid the good old 1.618 or 0.618). I'd wondered if anyone had tackled the maths of this in Scratch. I look forwards to studying and learning from your project.

GO PHI!
Very nice! I was thinking about a golden ratio project of my own but it hasn't gotten anywhere yet.
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,okay.

why is it called golden spirals if the spirals arent glden?
tag everything u c with "waffles"
