2025 solstice-to-solstice experiment is summarized! It could be prettier, but I am done for now.

highlights: 212 species of birds, 2200+km on foot, and lots of "potatoes" in the noted thoughts.

Still time to join the Granny Life community math/art project at www.grannylifecrochet.com !

My job is assembly, so today I am learning about braided fishing wire and how to tie fishing nets. Hoping to incorporate a strong net grid into the project. It's going to weigh about 15-20 pounds!

Once we ran out of candy - which was way faster than expected, I'd say 9 out of 10 trick-or-treaters were elated to have origami paper. The rest were happy with rocks. One group needed to see a noperthedron

There was an occasional fidget toy or math toy coming of the printer that went out as well

Have you noticed a change of colors? 🍁

You can now define colors in the 3D calculator that depend directly on coordinates. 📝 Learn more in the Desmos Help Center: help.desmos.com/hc/en-us/art... #iteachmath #mathsky

I've got one more #mathober post - today's prompt is "recursion", and this by-hand construction of the Spiral of Theodorus seems sort of recursive. Just keep adding triangles over and over. The length of the hypotenuses are the square roots of 2 through 17 […]
