A Mathematical Mystery Tour (Updated)
by Mark Wahl
LivnLern Press, 2001For those of you who are enchanted with the deep mystery of the connection between mathematics, art, nature and even metaphysics, there is another instructional window that has opened for your fifth through twelfth grade students. For thirteen years A Mathematical Mystery Tour by Mark Wahl has been a classroom-friendly, activity-rich resource that invites hands-on exploration of the ubiquitous reach of the golden ratio and Fibonacci numbers into many interdisciplinary realms. Now there is a supplement included with it that brings this classic teacher's resource into the 21st Century. The "Millennium Mathematical Mystery Tour Supplement," authored by Wahl and just out from Zephyr Press this spring, accompanies the classic book and deliberately strives to widens the Tour's appeal to the multiple intelligences. It modernizes the Tour's topics to include surprising fractal connections, the role of the golden ratio in the stock market, the spiral characteristics of the musical scale, and recent findings about the Great Pyramid and Sphinx. For students who have algebraic skills, the Supplement also provides effective algebraic tools that add power to all of the Tour's number explorations.
You can order the book by calling LivnLern Press at 1-360-221-8842 or through his website at http://www.markwahl.com or contact him at mathman@markwahl.com
