🧶➕🔢 Math Is all Around Us: Geometry in Knitting 🧵📐 Did you know that math isn't just about numbers and equations? It's woven into the very fabric of our daily activities, often in places we least expect. Take Joci's mother, for example, a master knitter who intricately applies the principles of geometry with every stitch and pattern, crafting beautiful garments that are as mathematical as they are artistic.

Despite her expertise in transforming yarn into complex designs, she humbly believes she's 'terrible at math.' It's a common sentiment that Ayesha Wilson, our beloved STEM educator, is determined to change. Ayesha shines a light on the unseen math in our hobbies and tasks, revealing that proficiency in mathematics is not just about solving textbook problems but recognizing and applying these concepts in real-life scenarios.

This story of knitting and geometry is a testament to the unseen mathematicians among us, demonstrating that math is not merely abstract theory but a tool for creation and innovation that we all use, perhaps without even realizing it!

So, next time you pick up a knitting needle, cook a meal, or engage in your favorite hobby, remember: you're applying math. And who knows? You might just discover a newfound appreciation for the numbers and shapes that make our world.
