I love breaking the unspoken rule about fraction diagrams (all pieces congruent, not just equal in area). Here are a few of my favourite non-standard representations. A one radian sector fills half the unit square, the curves y = x² and y = √x enclose 1/3 of the square. Can you come up with more?

Quite pleased with this little @geogebra.org animation of mine - shows how the area of a fixed perimeter rectangle changes as we vary the side length.

Using TinkerCad to design a replacement part for my retractable Stanley knife. At this rate, I only need to break another 40 or 50 household objects and the printer will have paid for itself ;)

@sparksmaths.bsky.social Been trying to model your Binomial-not-binomial data with some Terrible Python Code (tm). Any chance I can access your weird data? Simulating different drop-out rates and want to chi-squared against your actual data. I attach a @geogebra.org visual to get your attention ;)
