Compare four sets of pattern blocks. Use pattern blocks to make different shapes. Warm up with a Mystery Math Mistake to tell whether Dotson's 10-frames represent a number less than his focus number.

A new shape called an einstein has taken the math world by storm. The craggy, hat-shaped tile can cover an infinite plane with patterns that never repeat. Creatively tiling a bathroom floor isn’t just ...

Mathematicians are creating their own version of the periodic table that will provide a vast directory of all the possible shapes in the universe across three, four and five dimensions, linking shapes ...

Mathematicians show “soft cell” shapes are abundant in natural world. Soft cells are described as natural tiles with curved edges—a stark contrast to the mathematical solutions for creating tiling ...

(smooth music) - [Students] Math Mights! - Welcome back, second grade Math Mights. My name is Mrs. McCartney. I'm so excited that you've joined us for some math fun. Today, we're going to do a word ...

Over the last two years, mathematicians have identified the best versions of a child’s playroom’s worth of shapes. These results occupy a quirky corner of math and, fittingly, have been produced by ...
