A Chinese ninth-grade project site uses a real octagonal pavilion in Shexian to teach geometry, silver ratios, modeling, and design.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-20 issue.
For
Ninth-grade students and interdisciplinary teachers
Worth noticing
The project connects five measured pavilion features to a 2.414 silver-number ratio.

Field notes

The course separates the silver ratio from the silver number and asks students to label which quantity each design uses. Its geometry sequence includes square corner-cutting, similar inner and outer column rings, and measurements taken from both plans and photographs. The model-building activity exposes a scale parameter, an inner-to-outer similarity ratio, and a column-height ratio, while the design activity keeps exported SVG or PNG work on the local browser.
