Stomachion (Archimedes’ Box)

By:

Topic(s):

Supporting Resources:

The Stomachion puzzle, attributed to the Ancient Greek scholar Archimedes and preserved within the Archimedes Palimpsest, is considered to be the oldest known mathematical puzzle. The puzzle contains 14 pieces in 12 distinct shapes that fit perfectly into a square. Since its discovery, the underlying structure of the puzzle has...

Percents

By:

Topic(s):

Supporting Resources:

Developed as part of the Math Circles of Inquiry project, this module has students grapple with different representations of percents in various contexts in order to solve real life problems. Students need fluency in percentages for real world applications such as shopping, eating at restaurants, commission based careers, etc. Understanding...
