I used the random module to create the number sets ad that Your solution is a lot better than mine; I made mine especially Useless by using a genetic algorithm.

Journal of Recreational Mathematics
Update 1/8/2001
Greetings and Happy New Year to all! By now, you should have received your 30(1) copies of Journal of Recreational Mathematics. I have received all of the author proofs for 30(2) and they were passed on to Baywood a few weeks ago. While there will be some delay due to the holidays, issue 30(2) should be arriving within a few weeks.
The material for 30(3) was selected and sent to Baywood some time ago, so I expect author proofs to be arriving very soon. All material for 30(4) has been selected and it will be sent to Baywood today.
Once again, I ask that if you have a paper that was accepted by Joe Madachy and have not communicated that to me, please do so as soon as possible. Send a hard copy plus any correspondence indicating that he accepted it.

Recreational Mathematics Workshop
In the Summer, I offer a hands-on workshop on Recreational Mathematics for the Classroom (EDW 526). The workshop is intended for teachers of Grades 1-12. Participants will work in small groups to prepare Recreational Math Units suitable to their grade level. They would then present the units to the class of workshop participants. Participants will be given necessary guidance to prepare the Units. Each participant will also make one individual presentation on a recreational math topic of his/her choice. Topics are drawn from arithmetic, geometry, statistics, etc. They include mathematical magic tricks (with numbers, geometrical figures, ropes, etc), construction of geometrical figures, mathematical games and so on.

1) " I (Singmaster) have embarked on a project to find the sources of classical
problems in recreational mathematics. .....
The initial object of this project was to produce a book of sources,
translated into english with annotation, for .... However, it now appears that
the first stage must be the prpearation of an annotated bibliography of the
material. ... draft of paper which outlines the project and some of the material is available. I would be delighted to hear from anyone interested in this project, particularly anyone able to provide info." 2) "I am also compiling a list of mathematical monuments and have a draft article on this."

"A Quarter Century of Recreational Mathematics," by Martin Gardner. Scientific American , August 1998. The line between recreational math and serious math is a blurry one. Math is considered recreational if it has a playful aspect that can be understood and appreciated by nonmathematicians. At times, these types of problems generate simple and elegant solutions, but they can also lead to mind-bending paradoxes, bewildering magic tricks, and topological curiousities such as Mobius bands and Klein bottles. It is in this world that Martin Gardner lives. From 1956 to 1981, he wrote Scientific American's column "Mathematical Games." He took no math courses in college, but as a journalist who loves math, he has been able to coax interesting problems out of professional mathematicians. Early on he worked with Solomon Golomb, who studied polyominoes, shapes formed by joining identical squares along their edges (the domino being a simple example). In 1977, MIT's Ronald Rivest allowed Gardner to be the first to reveal the "public-key" cipher system that Rivest invented. At times, seemingly purely recreational problems have turned serious. Magic squares, arrangements of numbers that add up to the same number in every row, column, or diagonal, have always been a popular part of recreational math. Extending this idea, retired railroad clerk Clifford Adams devised a magic hexagon. After receiving it in the mail, Gardner passed it on to mathematician Charles Trigg, who proved that Adams' elegant pattern was the only possible magic hexagon of any size.

Recreational Math
This page is dedicated to mathematical amusements of all sorts, and to problems I find that are intriguing because they seem counter-intuitive or have an unexpected solution. For example: Old Boniface he took his cheer,
Then he drilled a hole through a solid sphere -
Clear through the center, straight and strong.
And the hole was just six inches long.
Now, tell us when the end was gained
What volume of the sphere remained?
It sounds like we haven't told enough,
But that's all you need - and it isn't tough! From "The Surprise Attack in Mathematical Problems", L.A. Graham See my solution

The puzzler works like this: There is a math question posted below for you to puzzle over. When you have an answer, send it to me in an email. If your answer is right, I'll send you back a code to let you access the next puzzler in the series. I'll keep extending the series of puzzles as I find or invent new ones, but I'll maintain a list of people who have solved any puzzles, and post a "hall of fame" for those who have solved the most.

Rethinking Midschool/High School Math
From the Older Kids column, by Cafi Cohen, originally published in the January-February 1997 issue of Home Education Magazine.
M-A-T-H. What thoughts come to mind with the word MATH? One of the three R's. A government school "required subject," according to many state statutes and some local regulations. An essential topic in any homeschool.
Past that point, what official guidance are you given for teaching math? Often, none. What you cover and how you cover it is up to you. In the absence of specific directions, many homeschooling families pursue what I call School Math. School Math is how most parents studied math when they attended school; and it is how most schools still teach math.
School Math involves textbooks, workbooks, and exams. Older kids pursuing School Math study the subject sequentially in other words, arithmetic, followed by algebra, then geometry, second year algebra, trigonometry, and so on. Those using a School Math program must always "show all the steps" and reason exactly like the author of the text reasons. Alternate approaches to problem solving are unacceptable. Getting the right answer is emphasized, often to the exclusion of understanding the process.
School Math texts often include unrealistic problems. Typical is the following. A 20-ft. telephone pole falls across a street and the two ends extend one foot and three feet either side of the street. How wide is the street?
