“The Point of Evolution” started as a Mathober doodle and led to this GIF.
Dimensions are fun – what do you see? what do you notice?
Side Note: I talk about dimensions when covering combining like terms. One analogy – A 3D banana can’t combine with a 2D banana (or whatever noun seems to go with the variable you have). We have fun with expressions using various animals/objects and their dimensions. Variables (things) and their exponents (dimensions) need to match to be able to combine them.
Hexagon and parametric spiral play. I find myself doodling with code lately more than with my pen. I have one more scripting algebra post, but feel like I have a much larger library for a pre-calc set of activities. Thoughts?
The GIF is too large for this site or twitter, so I stashed it on my photography site here.

I couldn’t resist this GIF for my algebra students. Foiling can be such fun!
My daughter started playing with moiré in procreate after I fiddled with it in a previous post. You know we breathe math in our home. She wanted to share:
High res:
Low res:
So I doodled and was pleasantly surprised when Sierpinski-like triangles formed. I am sure that a million people have discovered this before me, but I felt like I found a magic portal.
And that lead to coding (of which is currently a mess, and I will post later).
And one more version:
I know it is an obvious one, but it’s what I doodled tonight…
I doodled this GIF after two days of painting the canvas below. I think I am in the process of preparing for my fall classes and students. Art is definitely an outlet – especially when it’s math + art.
