Very random:
The other night, my husband and I were watching a rerun of Mythbusters (which is just a fantastic show, in my opinion) and one of the show's stars, Adam, was constructing a shape that would need to be inflated, so he decided to make an icosahedron.
I grinned immediately and wished that my students were watching the show with me.
Every single one of my students would have known that an icosahedron is a 20 sided figure. We had a very cool foam icosahedron with numbers on each face that we used this year in various math games.
Now, I wonder if Jamie and Adam from Mythbusters might be interested in some of our first grade math games?

How cool! We love that show, too, and have "marathons" thanks to our Tivo. ;)
Having a nice summer?
