Welcome to Math Munch!
We write Math Munch for everyone who takes pleasure in reading it. Most of all, though, we write it for our own students—to share math with them that we find meaningful, amazing, and inspiring. Each week we create a post that curates some of great mathematical resources of the internet. Websites, videos, articles, applets—we share them all to help our students build positive and personal relationships with mathematics.
It’s our hope that students beyond our schools might find inspiration at Math Munch as well. After browsing around the site, maybe you’ll decide that you’d like to share Math Munch with your own students. If so, we’ve put together some resources to help you on your way.

Thank you so much. I found this for my 1st period class and I figured why not use it on the rest 🙂 Thank you so much. Helps with standards and getting stuff in on time.
I loved the math munch art called Zentangle it comes out really nice in the end.
I enjoyed the video on how to make the ninja star.
I have invented a mathematical model which illustrates (and can be used to solve) the theoretical situation of our social system as in simulations for macroeconomics.
Each of 6 role-playing agencies (or entities) are connected to a number of the others in a block diagram (see in the internet DiagFuncMacroSyst.pdf ). These connections represent the various exchanges between them. Since the values of the mutual flows of goods, services, access rights and legal documents are equal to the returning flows of money, each entity has the same total amount of input and output values (W.W. Leontief). This can be replaced by pivoted beam arrangement into a compound balance system, using strings that are attached to the ends of the beams and pulley-mounted weight carriers to represent the values of the flows.
The solution of this system for equilibrium provides an interesting problem, due to the nature of the macroeconomics topology, only certain kinds of changes are permitted.
