Welcome to the Math Teachers At Play blog carnival — which is not just for math teachers! If you like to learn new things and play around with ideas, you are sure to find something of interest.
Let’s start the mathematical fun with a couple of puzzles in honor of our 20th edition: First, the shape to our right is an icosahedron, one of the Platonic solids. Each face is an equilateral triangle — can you count them? For more fun, make your own model.
There is plenty of humor, a few movies, some great activities and explorations, and lots of math in Math Teachers at Play 17. Hope you enjoy reading these as much as I did….
I think this may be our longest edition yet, with plenty of mathematical fun for all ages. Enjoy!
Multiplication, division, trig, telling time, order of operations, negative numbers, infinity, and even more — it must be the Math Teachers at Play blog carnival! Check out the latest edition:
