Games
The mathionaire games were my very first attempt at making something interactive for this site. They are surprisingly popular, so I’ve kept them, but they do look a bit retro. (Retro is cool isn’t it?)

two more easter eggs needed
Egg-sellent Brandon! (Sorry, I couldn’t resist that!)
Hi Miss,
Just to let you know the ‘Maths is Great’ poem doesn’t work.
I found this because of the egg hunt.
Adam
Thanks for that Adam – I’ve fixed it now 🙂
How do I find the jokes page other than searching?
At the moment, you can’t. It’s supposed to be an ‘Easter Egg’, i.e. a hidden extra. Good thing? Bad idea? I’m open to suggestions on this.
hi miss! I love the website I like the mathmillionaire game it is really fun! I came on your website because Im revising for the end of year test and thought their might be good things on here!
Hi Hannah! Glad you like it. I’m going to try to make some more games next term.
great! just went onto the time mathmillionaire game I got 18,000 on it!
Can you give me algebraic poems for Jan. 6?
Hi Sabrina,
Is that I piece of homework by any chance? All the poems were written by my former students, who kindly allowed me to publish them. Why not try writing your own? Some of my students started off by writing down some mathematical keywords, then putting them into phrases and then making up other phrases wit the same rhythm or that rhymed.
Hope your poem writing goes well!
Mobius strips can be used to convey some religious ideas. The notion that G-d is continuous, without end, can be conveyed by writing certain things on the strips.
