I might code something later, but not sure yet.

Six rings held togher by a single ring going over and under, where each ring is a circular tree branch with lichen, moss, ferns, and mushrooms growing off. Everything is radially symmetrical so that the six rings have repeated growths and lighting. On each ring there is a brown creeper facing clockwise with a dark speckled top and white brest with a curved beak. it faces a tiny mushroom. the background goes from a light yellow to dark slate blue from the off-center center of the radial sketch with a smeared cloudy feel to it. in the lower corner is a signature S with a period.

My grade 6 class started beading their orange shirts today. They made their designs and now they will see if they can replicate them. #edusky #orangeshirtday

The penultimate week of #MathPhoto25 is #circles! Where do you notice circles, cylinders, spheres or ellipses in the world around you? #ITeachMath #MathsToday

Where do you notice circles, cylinders, spheres or ellipses in the world around you? Example photos include an orange life ring, a marshmallow toasting in a circular fire pit and cylidrical bales of hay drying in a field.

Teen stuns math community by disproving widely accepted 40-year-old math conjecture

A 17-year-old solved the Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture, overturning decades of expert belief in harmonic analysis.

Week 6 of #MathPhoto25 is is underway! Where do you see measurements or tools used to #measure. Think measurements for distance, area, weight, time, etc. #ITeachMath

Week 6 prompt is Measure. Examples include a produce scale, a height clearance sign and a sign for the distance of a walking path around a pond.

Navajo wedding vase symbolizing two becoming one will be my submission for #even #MathPhoto25

Next I will work on some even/odd Sodoku variant puzzles while I eat a #pair of cookies for good measure.

Aha! This photo is from 2016. It’s a dodecahedron all of whose faces are an equilateral concave pentagon.

A 3D solid made of paper shapes sticky-taped together. Each face is the shape made when you turn one corner of a regular pentagon inwards. There are eight very spiky vertices where three faces meet, and twelve vertices where two faces meet the concave corner of another face. The whole thing is very spiky.

#MathPhoto25 #five From my late mother’s things, special hangers for drying gloves.

Two pieces of blue wire each bent into the shape of a hand with five fingers and a hook to use as a hanger for gloves.

This week’s #MathPhoto25 prompt is #even. Where do you see things that come in pairs? Where do even numbers show up in your world—on signs, in patterns, or in nature? #ITeachMath

Week 4 of MathPhoto25 is Even. Where do you notice balance and items grouped in pairs? Where do you see even numbers?
