A knight's tour of a 32x32 chessboard. The knight's path can be traced without lifting one's writing implement from the surface of the paper. This tour is close to having 180-degree rotational symmetry and vertical and horizontal mirror symmetries. #mathart #mathsart #chess

A knight's tour of a 32x32 chessboard. The knight's path is unicursal. If you start in the lower left corner and follow the path move by move, you will visit each square once and only once and end near the lower right corner. Inspiration: Szpakowski's linear ideas. #mathart #mathsart #orms #chess

Today is World Population Day. In maths lessons around the world it is an ideal opportunity to think deeply about big numbers. See some of the questions you could ask in today's starter.

The image is of the book cover of "Mathematics Tasks for the Thinking Classroom: Grades 6-12." On the cover is an illustration of stick figures in groups of three orange, three green and three blue. The figures are working on math problems on vertical boards. Authors Peter Liljedahl and Kyle Webb are listed, as well as the illustrator, Laura Wheeler.

As the year ends, pause: What math stories did your students writeโ€”not just in numbers, but in courage, struggle, insight?
Growth isnโ€™t always a score.

What did they teach you about math, learning, or yourself?

Doodling in Math Class: Infinity Elephants This is "Doodling in Math Class: Infinity Elephants" by Vi Hart on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

I learned from her Patreon that Vi Hart has just deleted her 1.5M-subscriber YouTube channel. The worsening of YTโ€™s policies for creators finally reached her breaking point. To help herd folks to her videosโ€™ new home, hereโ€™s a link to an early favorite of mine.

I will pick 3 different digits, and use them once each to make a time. Then, Iโ€™m going to use the same 3 digits to make a different time. I will then work out how many minutes between those times.

__ . __ __ pm

__ . __ __ pm

The goal is to find the shortest elapsed time using these rules.

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this.

Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the ๐Ÿฆ‹.
