lesson-1 - Mathigon
Invite students to make some shapes of their own by joining together two different pentominoes (but they can use the same pentomino more than once in different pairs).
Challenge students to come up with a mathematical way, using their knowledge of interior angles, to convince you whether the shapes fit exactly or not. They could annotate the arrangements …
Applications of Mathematics – Mathigon
Automotive Design From the shape of the body to the engine, the materials to the colors, math touched nearly everything in car design.
Origami and Paper Folding – Euclidean Geometry – Mathigon
The goal is to make objects out of one or more sheets of paper, without any additional tools like glue or scissors. You can create incredibly beautiful and impressive designs – all of these …
Pentagons – Polygons and Polyhedra – Mathigon
Geometric shapes are everywhere around us. In this course you will learn about angels, polygons, tessellations, polyhedra and nets.
