Shoutout to Art Shapiro! @agshapiro2
Originally created by Arthur Shapiro and Alex Rose-Henig of American University, this illusion gives the overall impression that all of the movement involved is circular – but it's actually made by dots' straight motion.

Games, puzzles, interesting problems and meaningful projects can provide motivating contexts for learning and practising foundational skills and knowledge.
Here are 6 puzzles we love that invite logical reasoning and arithmetic into a playful space for practice

An NxN square array of numbers has entries in each row and in each column adding to the same value.
Prove it is possible to circle N non-zero entries, one per row and one per column.

One point simply rotates around the origin. The other four points are moving in a straight line! 😲[bityl.co/NwaO]

Can you spot the mathematician within this week's #GCHQPuzzle?
ALT Which mathematician is hiding in this sequence?
Is anyone else thrown off by the mathematician emerging from the cave? Is that where we mathematicians supposedly live? Also, a slip of paper can't have an infinite grid of points with integer coordinates. Fun question, but strange set-up.

As an added challenge, you can try to use all six numbers and finish so that the target number is in the upper left position. I don't know if it's always possible, but definitely most of the time.

Forcing students to use y=mx+b makes them think other forms are wrong. Point-slope form is easier and more useful. When using a tangent line to approximate a function, we care what happens near the tangent point, not x=0. Point-slope form also generalizes to Taylor polynomials.

These are the Pi Day shirts I made for me and my family this year. Thanks to @AUDaBL for the vinyl cutter and t-shirt press.

Grothendieck's prime #mathtwitter
ALT A picture of 8 baguettes and a cat tucked in between them. The cat is the same colouring as the baguettes and camouflages. The baguettes are captioned "101", "13", "3", "7", "53", "11", "61", and "17". The cat is captioned "57".

Interview Puzzle. What is the sum of all 5 digit numbers using 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 without repetition?

Can you give us the word we're looking for in this week's #GCHQPuzzle? 🤔
ALT WHAT WORD COULD PRECEDE THIS SEQUENCE? ???????, CRLIAIC, HAFKPMH, OYAEAAO
Also, The Game Believes In You. Not specifically math education, but talks about how kids struggle for a long time with video games but keep at it, but will try a math problem once and then give up, and how to fix this.
