ab: From the text: The golden ratio is a beautiful example of the mathematics
    that is found in nature, art, and architecture. This activity reviews
    measurement, analyzes data collection, and explores division, which can
    all occur within the context of studying the golden ratio. Students
    also observe and use technology to plot data, determine whether a
    correlation exists, and identify the golden ratio. Careful
    consideration has been paid to providing an enrichment activity that
    teachers can directly tie to existing curriculum. The images, which
    maintain and are examples of the golden ratio, were found in my
    environment.
