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. The heuristic I'm using doesn't work well at all... *sigh* I'll post the code up to Rob later tonight after I clean up the code and don my bughunting cap.

Recreational Math Workshop The workshop is intended for teachers of Grades 112. Participants will work in small groups to prepare recreational math Units suitable to their grade level. http://www.millersv.edu/~kkittapp/workshop.html
Extractions: 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.

Math Digest The line between recreational math and serious math is a blurry one. Gardner sees recreational math as potentially educational. http://www.ams.org/new-in-math/mathdigest/199811-rec-math.html
Extractions: in the Popular Press "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.

Extractions: 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.
