They're also responsible for one of the best emails I've ever received, when the college office sent out a plea for sightings of Professor Biscuit while conveniently forgetting to mention that he was a cat...(I won't comment on how often a similar email might have gone out about human Professors...)
Dear All
Have you seen Prof Biscuit recently?

Professor Biscuit is roaming Main Building or more likely, is asleep somewhere cosy. Have you seen him recently? If so, could he be persuaded to be returned to the Bursary, please?

Formed From Three - The Mathematical Isles of What If...?
Using three similar shapes, surround an area that forms a triangle. Then using three more the same, form a quadrilateral, then a pentagon etc. How far can you go?

Pattern block play with heptagons! #21CenturyPB #iTeachMath
The main image in the upper left corner shows a radial design created with 21st Century Pattern Blocks. The design begins with six heptagons arranged around a central hexagon. Each heptagon uses the same block arrangement in the first layer. Surrounding this, a second layer consists of 12 additional heptagons, constructed using a different block arrangement. The first two images along the bottom show the two distinct heptagons used in the design. The first heptagon is made up of 1 purple hexagon, 2 gray darts, 3 blue rhombuses, and 4 pink triangles. The second heptagon is made up of 3 gray darts and 8 pink triangles. The three images on the right show the progression of the design.
