Weโ€™re soft launching a new set for grownups: just 48 half-equilateral triangles, but many building possibilities. Thoughts? #mathsky

This is an entry for the 3rd day of #mathober2025 (polyhedron) and also the 1st day (link). It is a variation on a rhombicuboctahedron with a projection of the Borromean Rings. #mathober #mathsky

This jumbo size dandelion is called a salsify, to the best of my knowledge. The tiny broom is a single seed. The โ€œheartโ€ has Fibonacci spirals. Could the spherical looking flower be a spherical Fibonacci mapping? Seen in North Rim, Grand Canyon NP. #mathsky #Fibonacci

Celebrating #nationalquiltingmonth with two classic quilting blocks: the Sawtooth Star and Dutchmanโ€™s Puzzle. Geometiles allow you to create these patterns quickly so that you can focus on their geometry even if you donโ€™t know how to sew. See Geometiles.com/quilts for examples. #mathsky #edusky

Celebrating this yearโ€™s Pi(e) Day with this fluted number! It comes with its own pie stand, made for the occasion. Watch video to see how two flat surfaces come together to make the pieโ€” or should I say PIElyhedron?? Mobies make the thin pedestal of the pie stand possible. #mathsky #piday2025

Wait for itโ€ฆ this 7 yr old is discovering a new way to play with Geometiles. Heโ€™s treating the chain of rectangles as a multi-hinge system, and he finds it โ€œsatisfyingโ€ to experience the system unfold from a triangle to various other shapes under the effect of gravity. #edusky #mathsky #iteachmath

This #BlackHistoryMonth Iโ€™ve been looking at the origins of African American crafts. The pattern in the first picture is inspired by Kente cloth. The cube design is based on the zigzag pattern often seen in African art. #mathsky #mathart #mathematicalart

Mirrored triacontahedron (30-faces) at the @byltbasics.bsky.social store at the local mall. This solid was discovered by Johannes Kepler. It is dual to the icosidodecahedron. #mathsky #mathart
