Hexaflexagons

Red and White class, it was a blast beginning to work on the Hexaflexagons in class today.  I've got templates below for you to try.  Click on the image to go to a printable page!  Blue and Green classes, thank you for your diligent work on the math test.  I should have the tests graded and in the gradebook by Friday!

See yesterday's post for video tutorials on how to fold!

Thanks and have a good night!  Remember, No homework for the rest of the year (2013) in math!

Test tomorrow!

I'm REALLY hoping that we don't have a snow day tomorrow!  No inside out PJ's or spoons under your pillows people!!!  I want to see you tomorrow!

Answers from today's worksheet are above.  Click to see it larger!

Study for tomorrow!  Hope for no snow!  Hexaflexagons on Wednesday!

Wintery Weekend and pajama day!

I hope that everyone enjoyed the scavenger hunt in class today!  It was fun to have everyone running all around the room and chatting, but still doing some great math work!  I hope that you guys have a fun and safe weekend enjoying the snow!  Homework is to study for the test on Tuesday.  You have tons of stuff to study from, so make sure that you are doing everything you can to do your best on the test!

Here's a post I found online that is simultaneously mathy, geeky, and depressing!

Vi Hart videos!

Bored, Hungry, Mathy?

Math is Musical, Music is Mathical!

Another Vi Hart video...  each pattern corresponds to notes as they change.  Now I'm not musically literate, but this is amazing and beautiful!  Check it out!



Vi Hart's comment on the video:

A visual and musical expression of mathematical symmetry groups. The transformations done to the video are equivalent to the transformations done to the notes.

These type of repeating patterns are called frieze patterns. A couple wallpaper groups are also represented.

Enjoy!

The Vi Hart videos we watched after today's quiz...

Squiggle, squiggle, squiggle...


Drawing snakes, "demented" checkerboards, and everything else...


snake, snake, snake...


And the Silly Band video...
