http://www.stetson.edu/~efriedma/mathmagic/

Extractions: You can also send answers to the problem of the month. This month we consider 4 problems concerning squares. 1. Square Chain Tilings We say a tiling of a square by integer-sided squares is a square chain tiling if every square of side s>1 shares part of a side with a square of s-1. For each n, we are interested in finding the square chain tiling of a square of side n using the fewest number of squares. For example, the best known tilings for small squares are given below: Can you improve these tilings? What are the minimal square chain tilings for larger squares? In particular, what is the fewest number of squares you can find for a chain tiling of a square of side 100? What are the best chain tilings of rectangles by squares? How about equilateral triangle chain tilings? 2. Square Bridges

Extractions: This problem was recently published in MAA on line: Crossing a Rickety Bridge at Night By Flashlight. A group of four people has to cross a bridge. It is dark, and they have to light the path with a flashlight. No more than two people can cross the bridge simultaneously, and the group has only one flashlight. It takes different time for the people in the group to cross the bridge:

http://www.scottkim.com/education/tenways.html

Extractions: Chances are that you already use puzzles in your classroom. After all, a puzzle is nothing but a problem that is fun to solve. Primary level teachers commonly use puzzle manipulatives like tangrams to teach concepts like sahpe, fractions and area. Secondary and high school teachers often use puzzles to introduce concepts and spice up homework. College entrance exams and math competitions are mostly collections of puzzles. As a professional puzzle designer and math educator, I would like to see puzzles used more widely at all levels of math education. Here are ten ways you can use puzzles in your math classrooms, with links to web resources. Most of the products mentioned work with upper elementary through high school students.

http://www.claymath.org/millennium/

Extractions: In order to celebrate mathematics in the new millennium, The Clay Mathematics Institute of Cambridge, Massachusetts (CMI) has named seven Prize Problems . The Scientific Advisory Board of CMI selected these problems, focusing on important classic questions that have resisted solution over the years. The Board of Directors of CMI designated a $7 million prize fund for the solution to these problems, with $1 million allocated to each. During the Millennium Meeting The Importance of Mathematics , aimed for the general public, while John Tate and Michael Atiyah spoke on the problems. The CMI invited specialists to formulate each problem. One hundred years earlier, on August 8, 1900, David Hilbert delivered his famous lecture about open mathematical problems at the second International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris. This influenced our decision to announce the millennium problems as the central theme of a Paris meeting. The rules for the award of the prize have the endorsement of the CMI Scientific Advisory Board and the approval of the Directors. The members of these boards have the responsibility to preserve the nature, the integrity, and the spirit of this prize.

Extractions: Welcome to the Missouri State University Department of Mathematics' Problem Corner. There are three levels of problems: High School, Advanced, and Challenge. A brief description of each follows; click on the link to go to the corresponding page. There are also archives of past problems. Problems are updated monthly (approximately). Solutions will appear approximately two months after the problems have been posted (to give everyone plenty of time to respond). HighSchool The problems on this page will be directed primarily towards high school students, although everyone is welcome to participate. Each month, the solution to the previous month's problem will be posted along with the names of those who have solved it. Archives Advanced This page will pose problems which assume some college-level mathematics, typically calculus, but occasionally higher-level courses. Solutions are solicited. Each month, the names of those solving the puzzle will be posted along with one of their solutions (assuming any are received).

Extractions: home welcome archive comments ... reflections You drive along a straight road with one car in front of you. You want to pass it, but in the distance you see an approaching car. Do you have enough time to make a safe overtaking? This math puzzle is solved daily by all drivers. Some solve it wrongly and end up hurting others and themselves. Which factors do you have to take into account? Do you have a rule of thumb or do you use your gut feeling based on experience? Make your assumptions and come up with a formula I can use next time I am on the road. Permalink Comments Trackbacks Pingbacks My boyfriend keeps telling me I've got to own things.
