All knitters are mathematicians. Knitters count the stitches (arithmetic), figure out the number of stitches needed (algebra) and create shapes (topology, geometry, and trigonometry). Knitting was one of the first applications of computer programming. Knitted fabrics were commercially produced using punch cards long before anyone ever heard of IBM or Microsoft.

Yep, that's another Fib (this one fitting in for both National Poetry Month and Math Awareness Month).

The Practical Bit!!
You are going to create a model for Gehrytown, a new development off the M6.
•Each person will create one building.
•The building has to be constructed using mathematical shapes.
•The building will need windows.
•You might need to work together!!

Don’t forget scale!

Creative maths and running.
• Recently heard at a track session.
• “How many laps have we got to do now?”
• 1st person “we’ve done 6 so we have 6 more to do”
• 2nd. “After the next 3, we’ve done 75%”
• 3rd.” 50% so we’re on the final half”
• 4th.” Don’t know, but I have a drink every 2 laps, and I still have ½ a bottle left”
