Really Big Math
(or)
What you can do with 1,054 envelopes and a whole bunch of tape.
(Thanks to George Thornton, who taught this at NWMI)
Tetrahedra made from standard letter-size envelopes.
Put four together to form a larger tetrahedron.
Put four more together to form an even larger tetrahedron.
Take a moment to be really goofy.
Put four of the last set together to form an even larger tetrahedron.
…do it again.
…and again (with a LOT of teamwork).
And we finally finished!
Tada! (By the way, this culminated a unit on sequences and series.)
