Mathematical Dance Moves - What's yours?

On the windows of Mathsland are some formulas (formulae) to dance moves - check them out. What's your signature move? How would you graph it?

In MYP3 and MYP5 we have looked at graphing and patterns (different ones). Learning their signature moves on the axes can help us to understand how to graph them but also what they are trying to tell us about the pattern they represent.

Here's my  "squared triple circle cubed undefined gradient dance"



Play around with the formulas in the Desmos Calculator and check out some of the graphs other people have made like the minion...

Humans Will Be Outnumbered By Lego Minifigures

Today we feature some cool maths sent to us from Ajarn Jon.

There is so much mathematics in the world of humanities and here is a cool graph of humans and lego humans.

By 2019, Humans Will Be Outnumbered By Lego Minifigs - Gizmodo


From Gizmodo, where Ajarn Jon found this (it looks like it may have originated from XKCD):
Since their introduction in 1978, Lego's Minifigs have, um, reproduced at a rapid rate. In fact, the toymaker has been making the little fellas at such a pace that they'll outnumber humans by 2019.
As of 2006, there were 4 billion Minifigs in the world; projecting forward both human and Lego populations suggests that tiny plastic men will outnumber us by 2019. Imagine that: a world where there are more Minifigs than fellow homosapiens. That's our kind of world. [XKCD]
