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.
The R3 Graphing Box A hands-on, computer-free way for students to visualize basic 3D analytic geometry concepts typically covered in a Calculus III course. The entire box is covered in packing tape, making it dry-erase!
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

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.
