Math Links for Week Ending Jul. 30th, 2022

If this wasn't already the case when we started the year last year (because of our end of the previous year lockdown), it's probably more the case now. That is, the idea with @DDMeyer's post on advice on how to handle the fact that students may be coming into our classes this year on the deficient side. So I appreciate the analogy to "Previously on..." TV shows.

I love all the geometry that can be done on Polypad. In this webinar from @DavidPoras, you can see how to use them including a preview of some of the new, very cool, 3D features at around the 32 minute mark. So excited about the dynamic 3D nets.

I think I would like to have the actual data for this and have kids play with shifting things around.
