I never thought I would be into looking at math books, but I went to Powell's Technical and found some gems. Hoping to do something like this for Assignment 1.
A customer sent me these math ornaments made from some of my fabric - how awesome!

The colored marshmallows (see yesterday) were a big hit, and the students loved today's math lesson. They graphed the number of marshmallows I gave them, and then took pieces of candy with a partner and graphed those colors, too. That I let them eat it all after surely contributed to their enjoyment.
J'ai lu récemment un livre électronique de Hugh MacLeod sur la créativité.
Il fait ses dessins en format cartes d'affaire. Un de ses dessins m'a donné l'idée de ceci!
Son livre électronique s'intitule "How to be creative" et est offert gratuitement sur l'Internet.
KEVIN!
That night he actually broke the things that hold the tuning keys and guitar strings onto his guitar off. :| RIP Kevin's guitar.

Every year, on the 100th day of school, is Math Night. Math Night is when you go to your classroom, and give a math or geometry mini presentation to parents that come to visit. Some examples are Test Tube Division, How to Make a Polynomial of Your Name, and Make a Nautilus. The work that I did was The Powers of Three and How to Make it Into a Chart. If you want to see more pictures and an explanation about this, go here. In the Lower Elementary classrooms, you make a 100 project, by collecting 100 things - anything - and then writing a piece on why you chose it, how you made it, etc… Usually the 3rd graders do 1000 projects. When I was in 1st Grade, I took 100 goldfish and put them into 10 lunchbaggys. In 3rd Grade, I took 1000 used stamps from all over the world and pasted them onto a board. We still have it!
More than 30 elementary students in kindergarten through second grade recently explored math through art, physical activity and music as part of BU’s annual Math Camp, which also helped participating education majors learn fundamental themes for math learners.
It’s a collaborative benefit, according to Frank D’Angelo, assistant professor of early childhood and adolescent education, who says through the math camp BU’s education program is helping local elementary students get ready for the new school year. bloomu.edu/news-math-camp
My kids laugh at what I have on the little chalk board. All but one of them swears they "hate" math. ;-)
This week, I have been working on a take home test for my Abstract Algebra course, and I scribbled that on my white board in excitement because it appeared to be a correct solution. However, I soon realized that my logic was horribly wrong. Luckily, I solved the problem before the due date.

I wish someone with some real decorating talent would take this idea and make it as cute as it is in my head. It seems like it could be a fun/educational project to do with kids. My kids have fur and tails, so my lack of skill doesn't effect them. I actually did one with the entire quadratic equation written across it...but...it didn't turn out too hot :-)
