We again had a booth as part of Math Maker Neighborhood at #BugFest at NC Museum of Nat. Sciences & enjoyed sharing w/so many families #mathisfun activities like Towers of Hanoi, origami, subitizing, estimating, etal. Thanks to teacher & TA volunteers! naturalsciences.org/calendar/event/bugfest-2026

Happy #LaborDay! Some #mathisfun #mathAndSociety problems to consider. (elem) Using @usbls.bsky.social data & asking parents re: rent, utilities, food, etc., how far does a salary go? (middle) Estimate hours in a work year; what is hourly wage? (high) Explore wage and inflation rates of growth.

Thanks to @mathowitz.bsky.social for reminding us that 2025 is itself a perfect square! We asked our students in Jan. what its square root is (and how to easily find it), what the next perfect square year will be, and how many perfect square years the United States has had since 1776. #mtbos
