#Made4Math Monday Week 5 - An Assortment, cont.

Here's picking up where I left off last time...I didn't want to overload you on the projects last week, so I saved some for this week:

Project #1: Wall of Fame

I have quite a collection of senior pictures from the past 8 years.  Every year, I tape the pictures on the front of my desk or a chalkboard nearby.  Then at the end of each year, I take them down and pull off the tape.  REPEAT...NO MORE!

I put the senior pictures on the blank pieces of paper (I flipped the pages so that the pictures are face down to protect the "innocent")...there ended up being 4 or 5 sheets of paper with 9 pictures each.  Now, I will post these every year and only take down a few sheets of paper instead of each individual picture.

Project #2: Math Quotes Pages

I took funky scissors from my mom's beginner scrapbook kit she gave me and cut out some math quotes that I found online.  I also cut outlines from the paper I used for the "wall of fame" lettering:

Project #3: Crochet Flower Pencil Toppers

I wanted to do something like what so many #made4math-ers have been doing lately and create custom pencil toppers to prevent students from permanently borrowing my pencils.  So, naturally, I found a crochet pattern for pencil toppers!

Once I crocheted them, I used tacky glue to get them to stay at the top of the pencils.  We'll see if it works!!!

#Made4Math Week 1 - Pi Guy!

So I was struggling to figure out what to do for Made4Math Monday...especially since I caught my husband's cold and don't want to go anywhere.  Then, I realized that I could combine my passion for crocheting with my passion for math...

So I crocheted a little Pi Guy!  Here is a link to the original pattern that I found...thank you Alicia.
I've never made an amigurumi before, so this was kinda exciting!!!

Here are pictures of the process (and the final product):

Here are the supplies...I must say, I was excited to bust out

the stuffing to create a "stuffed irrational"

The head...I used brown yarn instead of beads and embroidery thread.

The legs.

Oops!  Put the right leg on a little to far to the right...had to fix it.

TADA!!!
