All Mathematical Salads

An ice cream cone with 3 scoops of ice cream, some cherries and sprigs of leaves. They are arranged on a blackboard which has a range of mathematical drawings on it

Join Lucy Rycroft-Smith as she weighs in on what the definition of an ‘edge’ is and therefore how many edges a cone ‘should’ have

The image shows a three-dimensional graph with interconnected lines and dots, forming peaks and valleys that resemble a mountainous landscape. The graph is set against a blurred background with warm hues, and the points are highlighted in various colors, indicating different data values or categories.

If you’re looking for a new way to explore data in your classroom, Darren Macey encourages you to try CODAP – a free online tool that’s “a bit like GeoGebra, but for statistics and data”. Enjoy!
