RS1 Level G, Lesson 121

December 14, 2017 by Kathleen Cotter Clayton

We’ve had a few calls about Lesson 121, Fibonacci Numbers and Phi, from Level G. This is a hard one, but, oh, what fun when you get it!

So, rather than type a long winded explanation and have you read it, I decided to make a video for you. With graphics! It’s about a half hour long, but I think you’ll find it worth the time.

Enjoy!

Oh, by the way, there’s a correction to this page that we just posted. Here it is for you:

Under Problem 2, the second and third paragraphs should read as follows:

In the third column, you are comparing how much the ratios differ from the golden ratio. A quick way to find these differences is to use memory on your calculator. First put 1.61803 into memory using the M+ key. Then to subtract 1 from 1.61803, do the following:

Press 1 then  —  MR  =  . The answer –0.61803 appears. (Ignore the negative sign when recording the answer.)

For the next answer,

Press 2 then  —  MR  =  . The answer 0.38197 appears.

Note that some of the newer calculators have replaced the MR button with the MRC button. It will still work the same.

Finally, remember to call us at 888.272.3291 if you have additional questions on this lesson or with other lessons. We’re here to help you!

What our Customers Are Saying

Thank you so much for your RightStart Math Curriculum. I have been using it for 3 years with my son and my daughter is beginning her second year. I love the strategies you use for teaching math and the lessons are fun to teach.

My daughter is 7 and this is our 2nd year to use RightStart Math. She is in 2nd grade and is adding and subtracting 4 digits numbers with trading like it is nothing. She also can do her multiplications. The most amazing thing is that when she is somewhere and has to spend her money she is quick to tell them how much change she needs back. I have seen a lot of teenagers and adults who cannot do thi… Read more

My daughter is in 4th grade this year. Math has always been a struggle for her, as it was for her father. I discovered that she has dyslexia (which is hereditary). I didn’t realize that had any effect on math, but I found out that people with dyslexia cannot learn with rote memorization or sequential skills. This makes it harder for them to remember math facts or how to do algorithms. Before I kne… Read more
