The first day of the 6th year of Mathober! Today's prompt is Link. I will post on blue-skee and this blog post as the month goes on: www.fractalkitty.com/mathober-202... I might code something later, but not sure yet. #mathober #mathober2025 #mathart #mtbos
Six rings held togher by a single ring going over and under, where each ring is a circular tree branch with lichen, moss, ferns, and mushrooms growing off. Everything is radially symmetrical so that the six rings have repeated growths and lighting. On each ring there is a brown creeper facing clockwise with a dark speckled top and white brest with a curved beak. it faces a tiny mushroom. the background goes from a light yellow to dark slate blue from the off-center center of the radial sketch with a smeared cloudy feel to it. in the lower corner is a signature S with a period.

Week 6 of #MathPhoto25 is is underway! Where do you see measurements or tools used to #measure. Think measurements for distance, area, weight, time, etc. #ITeachMath
Week 6 prompt is Measure. Examples include a produce scale, a height clearance sign and a sign for the distance of a walking path around a pond.

I’m a bit late with #symmetry for #MathPhoto25 but I was cleaning out and found a bunch of pencils and was inspired to make this ala George Hart. How many pencils did I use? What sort of symmetry does it have? This will look great until the kids need to borrow a pencil. #iTeachMath
A sculpture made of pencils.  There are 4 groups of 19 pencils arranged into hexagons and interleaved between each other.

#MathPhoto25 is about #angles this week. I took this photo at the California Science Center. How many unique angles do you see? Are there more acute or obtuse angles? #ITeachMath #MTBoS
Photo of the roof at the California Science Center.  A large circular, purple dome window covered in a grid of squares.  Lots of randomly placed beams intersecting in front of the window make a variety of angles.  From the beams are suspended small spheres, several hundred?  Filling up the space.
