Our Kingston Library math circle met for the second time this fall on Saturday. It’s very heartening to see the regular faces (each a year older, and growing fast) and the newcomers are also a welcome sight.
There was a lot of great mathematical thinking, as can be seen in this scratch work.
(note the typo – I forgot to update the date from September’s circle meeting)
We had a lot of students sharing their work on these problems at the end of class.
Each month we also feature a hands-on project, and this month we made a paper cut and glue Curry’s Triangle Paradox.
What do you find disturbing in the following picture? The graph paper grid is there intentionally to help measure distances and areas.
