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

As the year ends, pause: What math stories did your students write—not just in numbers, but in courage, struggle, insight?
Growth isn’t always a score.

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

I learned from her Patreon that Vi Hart has just deleted her 1.5M-subscriber YouTube channel. The worsening of YT’s policies for creators finally reached her breaking point. To help herd folks to her videos’ new home, here’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, I’m going to use the same 3 digits to make a different time. I will then work out how many minutes between those times.

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

One of my favourite puzzles for the weekend!

What’s the area of the toppled square?

#geometrypuzzle
A felt-tip drawing of five squares. On the right is a stack with area 3,12 and 27. On the left is a single square with area 12. And a large square containing a question mark rests at an angle in the centre.

The hat can be found on the Random Student Generator page in the left menu (scroll down the page). The computer can pick names of your pupils out of a top hat.

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