Work on making 10 and build new shapes from smaller shapes. Join Mrs. Markavich for a number talk with D.C. as we work on decomposing and composing to make 10. We'll build a new shape from smaller ...

Hunt for shapes and make familiar objects by putting together several different shapes. Warm up with a Mystery Math Mistake to tell whether Dotson's 10-frames represent a number more than his focus ...

Mathematicians are creating their own version of the periodic table that will provide a vast directory of all the possible shapes in the universe across three, four and five dimensions, linking shapes ...

When elementary students experience math through multiple modes, they begin to see it as a language of design, rhythm, and ...

Welcome to The Riddler. Every week, I offer up problems related to the things we hold dear around here: math, logic and probability. There are two types: Riddler Express for those of you who want ...

The recently discovered “hat” aperiodic monotile admits tilings of the plane, but none that are periodic [SMKGS23]. This polygon settles the question of whether a single shape—a closed topological ...

Bagels and pretzels have a lot in common with the physics of certain materials: The snacks illustrated the mathematics behind theoretical descriptions of exotic states of matter, work which won the ...

If you’re a child of the ’80s or ’90s, chances are you’ve spent hours tracing out intricate patterns using the pens and gears of a Spirograph kit. Simple as those parts may be, they’re actually a very ...

You might not need exotic manufacturing techniques to produce custom-shaped objects. If Harvard scientists have their way, you could start with little more than a sheet and some math. They've created ...
