Spotted Tau-hee
Happy Tau Day! I have created another math bird piece for today with the inspiration of Spotted Towhees on my morning walk.

Week 6: Randomness using pi
This week learners will create a work of art using pi. The goal here is not to understand pi, but to play with randomness. We will dive into the ratio of circumference and diameter on another week. Pi’s decimals go on forever and without pattern. Here are some ideas to play with that randomness: Bui

The spiral goes by many names (square root, Pythagorean, or Einstein Spiral) and approximates the Archimedean Spiral. Instructions: 1.) Create a right isosceles triangle
