Retired after 42 years in the classroom, from counting to calculus. Now working with colleagues, curriculum, cryptic crosswords.
Also, if you'll continue working on this, make it possible to hide the control points, so as to get a better-looking final result.
I don't mind the kite. At least for the eight-piece square I found it's more interesting than the obtuse + equilateral option.

I made an eight-piece square, I think.
It would be nice to be able to flip the pieces.

Always of interest! As much time as I've spent on your mathed.page there's always new-to-me stuff! I think I should be able to turn the geometric info into algebraic, just have never figured it out. Feel free to add my applet to your links if it's of interest.

Sorry for the delayed response — I've mostly been out of social media.
What's worked for my dept is NOT merging algebra and geometry into the same units, but inserting algebra units in "Math 2", and geometry units in "Math 3". Likewise, distributing trig units in Math 2, Math 3, and Precalc.

Same! I used to step out with my daughter to look at the night sky. Now that she is in her fifties, she still texts me about interesting moon and planet sightings.

Well, yes, but with the added constraint that two or three faces are Pythagorean triples. I didn't see that in that article, but maybe I didn't look closely enough.
