math them

I first encountered Numberlink puzzles in the (numberless) Flow Free app and appreciated them because they were a little more topological than the typical logic puzzle.

A nice source of generalizations for classic games played on a tabletop is porting them over to other surfaces. Today we'll look at Tic Tac Toe on more exotic surfaces than the standard \(3 \times 3\) board.

At the Joint Math Meetings, some folks from the VCU Breakthroughs team presented some activities on knots using a silicone necklace manipulative. Today we'll look at a set of puzzles inspired by that.

Here we'll look at some topological puzzles originally cast in terms of hanging a picture frame.

There are a number of activities based on Möbius bands in recreational mathematics lore. Here we'll look at a variant with some topological and number sequence aspects.
