Pattern block play! #21CenturyPB #iTeachMath
The image shows a twelve-sided shape created with 21st Century Pattern Blocks. It was built by arranging 6 rectangles and 6 equilateral triangles around a central regular hexagon with each side of the hexagon measuring 2*sqrt(3) inches. The design uses pink triangles and teal kites.

These mitten hidato puzzles were a special request from a teacher looking for a winter-themed logic puzzle. I figure they are perfect for this bout of cold weather we are experiencing!

Inspired by the Snowglobe post by @pattystephens.bsky.social, and stealing a bit of code from it, in this version the snow falls and piles up. There's some great cleverness in her Desmos code, btw! I learned quite a bit from her and from making my own version.

Can you find a Pythagorean Triple containing...
• exactly one multiple of 5?
• exactly two multiples of 5?
• three multiples of 5?
• no multiples of 5?

Any conjectures?

These puzzles are so much fun.

eight hundreds, five tens and six ones represented as circles with area proportional to their value. two of the hundreds are 3/4 shaded in, one is one half shaded and one of a fourth shaded. Four of the tens are three fourths shaded and two of the ones are half shaded. The objective is to find the total. Hint: it is not 856.

Day 2 of school closed due to power outages from the bomb cyclone, and storm #2 hits tonight. This bomb cyclone is definitely blowing up our summer vacation start date.
