Here's printouts for the stuff we covered on our first Maths day. We went right back to basics in Geometry then used what we had learned to make a scale plan of the paddock at Inverquiech - it was lots of fun! Well done to everyone who came along.
I'm looking forward to developing the whole Maths thing, so important in everyday making and building of things, also in the Fairshares aspect of Permaculture and life in general. How can you share stuff fairly without doing a few sums here and there?

Ha! Wonderful. One of my pet obsessions - geometry and the sublime. How shapes shape us....
