If you are like me then you probably spend a good amount of time perusing the internet in your free time.

This last week I learned of a fun blog that brought together food, art, music, doodling, balloons, videos, stories, and mathematics.  It is <a href=\"http:\/\/vihart.com\">vihart.com<\/a>.  Check it out during the break.  Does anyone have any other sites they would recommend for recreational mathematics?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>A side note<\/strong>: As a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kuscied.org\/~kuscied\/gk12\/\">GK12 fellow<\/a>, I spend one day a week in a middle school classroom.  The videos on this site are not uploaded via YouTube, hence can be viewed on a public school computer.  I showed the <a href=\"http:\/\/vihart.com\/doodling\/\">math doodling<\/a> videos to a group of 7th and 8th graders; they were quietly entertained, and produce many interesting doodles, for over one hour. <\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Branden Stone I hope everyone&#8217;s semester was productive and that your winter break is relaxing and fun.
