A 13 node graph with lines drawn in such a way that notriangles form. There is a star-like quality, but not symmetric.

Inquiries-Week 5: Triangles Emerge

Introduction In this inquiry, nodes are connected one at a time. How many lines can you draw before a triangle emerges? Starting with Four Let's start with four nodes - draw them on a sheet of paper. How many lines (called edges) can you draw before a triangle

A triangle with dissected into smaller triangles with 5 of them shaded that have light medium and dark shaded vertices.

Inquiries-Week 4: Triangulate the Triangle

Introduction In this inquiry, triangles are dissected into smaller triangles with vertices labeled as either light (L), medium (M), or dark (D). Any triangles that are LMD triangles are shaded with color. Triangle play Let's start with a triangle LMD: Now, let's dissect the triangle by

Week 30: Coloring is not just for Kindergarten

This week, I challenge learners to play with coloring sheets. Make your own. Share them. Color them. Contemplate them. Can you restrict the coloring to four or less colors? It may take some problem-solving for more complex sheets. In graph theory, there is the study of graphs that are made

Week 25: Loopy Doodle Math

Doodling and math? Yes, we can play with doodles and see what patterns emerge. Finding patterns and problem-solving are big parts of math. For this week’s hands-on math, learners are going to draw a loopy doodle where they start and end at the same point without lifting the pencil
