Trig Man

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

Last week I decided we needed to have a bit of fun in math class so I put the students to work on a "trig" themed fabric collage. The students named this piece "Trig Man"-- apparently he just finished measuring that mountain in the picture and is on his way home.

Frank's addition was this post-script: "Trig Man: he slipped on a decimal and made a mountain out of a mole hill." Sorry, I know it's very corny, but something about teaching math must just bring it out in us.
