Host the Carnival?
Today is the last day to send in your submission to the next Math Teachers at Play blog carnival, which will be posted this Friday at Homeschool Math Blog.
I am still trying to catch up on priorities at home, so I don’t know when I’ll be back to blogging. After Maria’s carnival this Friday, we don’t have another host scheduled until August. Would anyone like to volunteer, or shall we take a break for the summer?

Who Broke the Internet?
My Internet connection has been like a yo-yo: up and down, but mostly down. DH — who has little patience for blogging — says that’s just as well, because my main job this summer needs to be a major decluttering and housecleaning project. So I’ll be back when I can, but I don’t know how soon…
In the meantime, check out the Carnival of Mathematics #53. And be sure to send in your entry for this week’s Math Teachers at Play blog carnival, to be published this Friday at Homeschool Bytes.

Welcome to the Math Teachers At Play blog carnival — which is not just for math teachers! We accept entries from anyone who enjoys playing around with math, as long as the topic is relevant to students or teachers of preK-12th grade mathematics.
Some articles were submitted by their authors, other were drawn from the back-log in my blog reader, and I’ve spiced it all up with a few math jokes courtesy of the Mathematical humor collection of Andrej and Elena Cherkaev.
Let the mathematical fun begin…

Quilt: What Can You Do with This?
[Ragged Squares Quilt photos used with permission from Crazy Mom Quilts.]
I know other teachers have done math quilts, but I’ve never gotten around to trying it in any of my classes. Still, this image caught my eye and practically begged me to make it into a math lesson for my elementary math club.
I thought of at least two ways I could go with this, but I bet that if we put our brains together, we can come up with even more creative ideas. So here’s the question, ala Dan Meyer:
- What can you do with this?
How could you use this image as a springboard to doing math? What questions would you ask? What concepts would you try to get across? What would you follow it with? Please comment!

Math Bloggers at Play
The Carnival of Mathematics #52 is up and running at The Number Warrior, with tidbits about perfect numbers and Mersenne primes as well as links to a variety of interesting blog posts. Even if you aren’t a particularly “mathy” person, I think you will enjoy these:
- The federal budget, rescaled
- The Pattern Does Not Hold
- What’s the Chance That the Patient Has the Disease?
Check out the rest of the articles at Carnival of Mathematics #52.
And if you didn’t catch it last week, Math Teachers at Play #6 was short but fun at I Want to Teach Forever. Next week’s Math Teachers at Play carnival will be hosted by Misty at Homeschool Bytes. If you blog about math on the K-12 level, be sure to send in your entry soon!
