Rainbow Pi A 65x65 grid where each cell is a digit of pi, read from left to right starting in the top left corner. Each digit 0-9 is assigned a different color.
Partying with the conics 3D models of a hyperbola, an ellipse, and a parabola as slices of a cone. It's just party hats, cardstock, and some hot glue.

Some topics I introduced with it in my Calc III class:
the general vibe of 3D space & plotting 3D points
the idea of slicing 3D figures into 2D cross-sections
turning a 2D line into a 3D plane
parallelepipeds
integrating over a rectangular area
cylindrical and spherical coordinates

This was my friend's idea for asking his dad to be his best man at his wedding. The painting he got done on the right is gorgeous!
If I'm not playing with math ideas, I'm either reading, painting/drawing, out walking, hanging with Manny (the dog), or at a Country music concert with my sister. The deal is, if I paint the portrait of whoever we go to see, she has to act crazy to get it signed.
