摘要
An increasing role of mathematical experiments in the development of deeper understanding is still underestimated in the context of education. In this paper, we highlight a potential of technology, digital and physical to enrich students' investigation of the Golden Ratio. Moving from construction and experimentation with ratios in polygons to exploration of Fibonacci-like sequences, learners can get an intuitive sense of hidden relationships prior to moving to formal ways of proving.
