ACTIVITY 1. What is this number? Who are you?

DEADLINE: 13
DE OCTUBRE

I hope you are ready to thoroughly investigate this mysterious number we call the “golden
number.” This number, known since ancient times, is present in numerous works of art, both
sculptural and pictorial, and has been used by different artists over the centuries. It is also
curious how it is present in objects that we use daily and in natural phenomena.

You may wonder how all this is possible. To find out, they will have to do research using the
Internet, analyzing some web pages from three different points of view (mathematical,
historical-artistic and nature-everyday life).

To begin the investigation, groups of pairs must be formed. Include your name and your
classmate’s name on this document. (go to the document).
ACTIVITY 2. DEADLINE: 31 DE OCTUBRE

Behind all these objects hides a special number that you are going to discover and that will
amaze you.
