Very cool. The Fibonacci Sequence at play.
It Seems Like A Normal Sculpture, But When It Spins, I Couldn't Look Away A series of 3D printed sculptures are designed such that the appendages fit Fibonacci's Sequence, a mathematical sequence that manifest naturally in objects like sunflowers and pinecones. When spun, these sculptures come to life.

This is the best Pi info out there. Why? Because Jo believes, as I do, that knowing the digits of Pi is infinitely less important than understanding what Pi means. Hint: Something to do with the fact that the ratio of circumference to diameter of every circle, no matter what size, is the same!!!
Jo's thoughts on Pi We wanted to wish you a very happy and epic Pi day! We have created a Pi Day post with my thoughts on Pi. It includes some new and very interesting data on Pi from the PISA team. We have also included a short white board animation you may like to use in Pi celebrations, it is from my How to Learn…
Get your Pi on! It's never too early to plan out your March 14th. That's national Pi day, and Flying Star restaurants are offering free ice cream when you purchase a piece of pi(e)!

Good advice for parents (and teachers): http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/25/opinion/dont-teach-math-coach-it.html?hpw&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&version=HpHedThumbWell&module=well-region®ion=bottom-well&WT.nav=bottom-well&_r=0

Great article. I highly recommend this to teachers and parents. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/27/magazine/why-do-americans-stink-at-math.html?hpw&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&version=HpHedThumbWell&module=well-region®ion=bottom-well&WT.nav=bottom-well
Why Do Americans Stink at Math? The Common Core should finally improve math education. The problem is that no one has taught the teachers how to teach it.
The fun and math begins today! Welcome parents and campers to the 2014 Rio Rancho Math Camp! We're ready with some great lessons. See you all at 9:45 am!
