Math Links for Week Ending Aug. 6th, 2021

Featured Links

Last week I shared a video where @DavidPoras hinted at some new 3D geometry tools and now @Mathigon has released them. They are pretty easy to use (here I made an incomplete and complete net and it was easy)

Big news: Polypad now supports 3D geometry! 🎉⚽️🎁 Use one of our built-in solids, or create your own net using polygon tiles. Then click “fold” and watch the magic happen… pic.twitter.com/lMeBZbvGSo

I always like hands on activities and especially if it's for statistics.

This Candy Grab Lab is my favorite way to introduce linear regression to my students. Students use their regression equation to determine how many starbursts that various school staff members should be able to pick up. #mtbos #iteachmath #statchathttps://t.co/ikYv9EhFfY pic.twitter.com/GXYjemFddO

Oh my goodness. How cute is this bulletin board that @tracy_zalud made with my math joke of the week posters?!?

I love how the answers to the jokes are off the the side in a random order. Brilliant! https://t.co/yD5w2ZmkCP #mtbos #iteachmath pic.twitter.com/emqjxt4Ufw
