Fun Colorful Balls to Teach and Learn Math

[tuckerkao]

The balls and rounded squares are most colorful when counting in Dozenal.

The algorithm will work for any math bases under the Dozen, so very useful to convert numbers across the different bases between Octal, Decimal and Dozenal.

Just rearrange all the balls to 8 per row, then you get Octal. Rearrange all the balls to Dozen - 2 per row, then you get Decimal.

I'm not sure there's a limit on how much you should have laughed. It was hilarious.

Besides, who doesn't love colorful balls?

On that link the paints are listed two ways: non toxic and edible. Different audiences perhaps?

Well, no one wants to use toxic body paints, but edibles have tasty flavors.

So I hear.
