For next week- choose some of: https://mrnussbaum.com/math/geometry-and-shapes

Challenge:

How to evenly divide a gap into as many pieces as you want.

reference

find some other "old school" geometric constructions…

e.g.

  • 3-4-5 knotted string right angle triangle

  • find some historical machines/buildings

    • stone masons + special stone at the top of arcs
    • catinary curves
  • possibly work through some of the examples in https://opentextbc.ca/patterndevelopment/

    • need to get some compass and divider sets
  • keep exploring turtle blocks

Very maybe…

  • possibly look at p5js?
  • possibly look at circular geometry (touch on right angle triangles, circles, cos/sin & angles)
