As we all know through play, kids learn different things without even realizing it! Playing with a spirograph, experimenting and trying all kinds of combinations, kids will develop mathematical and scientific intuition they can draw and realize the patterns, with the proper questions they can experiment, hypothesize, test, and generalize even reach conclusions. Spirograph is a geometric drawing device that produces various mathematical curves known as hypotrochoids and epitrochoids. The well-known toy version was developed by British engineer Denys Fisher and first sold in 1965. Original toy’s website: https://www.kahootztoys.com/spirograph-home.html This image is taken from Smithsonian National Museum of American History MATH: The patterns that are created depend on three variables: the radius of the fixed disc or wheel, (the number of teeth) the radius of the revolving disc, (the number of teeth) the location of the point on the moving disc. By changing any one of these variables you can get tons of incredible and beautiful patterns. Please check the Wolfram's collection of plane curves related with the curve names listed below. A point on a wheel rolling inside a circle traces out a hypocycloid. A point on a wheel rolling on a flat surface traces out a curve called a cycloid. A point on a wheel rolling outside another wheel traces out an epicycloid. A spirograph can be used to create artistically interesting patterns. Besides the serious math behind it, the patterns can also be used to study; LCM Modular arithmetic The fundamental theorem of mathematics.

Sanatı ve matematiği harmanlayarak en etkileyici örneklerini yaratan ünlü heykeltıraşımız İlhan Koman’ın seneye doğumunun 100. yılını kutlayacağız. Türk Da Vinci’si olarak anılan Koman, İstanbul’un simgelerinden biri olan Akdeniz Heykeli’nin de yaratıcısıdır. Edirne'de 2014 yılında adına bir müze de açılan İlhan Koman’ın çoğu eseri, yaşamının son yirmi yılında ailesiyle birlikte yaşadığı ve atölye olarak da kullandığı Hulda adlı teknesinde bulunmaktadır. Bu tekneden görüntülerin yer aldığı İz TV Sudaki İzler (88. Bölüm) ve 2010 yılında Arte İstanbul'da düzenlenen sergisinden görüntülerin yer aldığı bu videoyu izlemenizi öneririm. İlhan Koman’ın eserlerini incelediğinizde onları sanat eseri ya da bilimsel çalışma olarak ayrıştırabilmenin olanaksız olduğunu görürsünüz. Koman, heykellerini geliştirirken kullandığı matematik formülleri ile de çok iyi bir matematikçi olarak da bilinmektedir. ∏+∏+∏+∏+∏ Örneğin, birden fazla pi sayısı içeren yüzeyler yaratmak üzerine kurguladığı heykelde, dairenin çapını değiştirmeden, yüzeyini pi sayısının katları ile arttırılarak kıvrılmasıyla oluşan bir seri çalışma yapmıştır. Sonsuz sayıda pi kullanılınca, yüzeyler katlanarak, kavisler yaparak iç içe geçmiştir. Ortaya çıkan şekil, en dış yüzeyi ve merkezi birbirine bağlayan katmanlarca yüzeyden oluşan, baş döndürücü bir küre olmuştur. 1970’lerin sonları ile 1980’lerin başlarında üzerinde çalıştığı “Developable Forms” kategorisi içinde sayılan ∏+∏+∏+∏+∏ isimli bu çalışmaya ait sergi de yine Boğaziçi Üniversitesi Kütüphanesinde sergilenmektedir. Developable Sculptural Forms of Ilhan Koman Akgün, Tevfik et al. “Developable Sculptural Forms of Ilhan Koman.” (2006). Link Image attributions: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/developable-sculptural-forms-of-ilhan-koman-akg%c3%bcn-koman/06b22e0444a2950d9a6eeb44abb80d3e7a97ac43 Wolfram Demonstrations Wolfram demo’ ları arasında da Koman Surfaces ve Koman Variations isimli iki interaktif çalışma yeralmaktadır. https://demonstrations.wolfram.com/KomanSurfaces/ https://demonstrations.wolfram.com/KomanVariations/ "Bir balonun üzerine bir eğri çizin, eğri üzerindeki noktaları çizgilerle balonun ortasına bağlayın ve sonra balonu patlatın. Ortaya çıkan şekiller çok hoş ve sanatsal olabilir mi? İlhan Koman, bu yöntemi kullanarak çok zarif heykeller üretmiştir. Bu Demo, bu heykelleri oluşturmanıza ve daha sonra 3D olarak döndürmenize ve inceleyebilmenize olanak tanır. " Sonsuzluk Eksi Bir İlham Koman, maddenin ve doğanın içindeki sonsuz devinimin heykellerini yapmıştır. Koman’ın dinamik eserlerden oluşan Sonsuzluk Eksi Bir sergisi de yine bilim ve sanatın buluştuğu en güzel örneklere ev sahipliği yapmaktadır. Bu sergiye ait bir çok ürün dünyanın farklı yerlerinde sergilenmektedir. Rolling Lady Koman, Rolling Lady formunu 1980'lerin başında keşfetti. Bu form, iki tekerlek oluşturmak için birbirine yapıştırılmış dört koniden oluşur. Adından da anlaşılacağı gibi, bu heykel güzel bir hareketle yuvarlanabilir. Bu cismin kumun üzerinde ilerlerken çizebileceği yolu düşünün. Arte İstanbul Sergisinden Siz de bu hareketi gözlemleyebilmek için kendi modelinizi yapabilirsiniz. Rolling Lady’nin Thingiverse platformunda 3D Modeli bulunmaktadır. Bu modeli kullanarak kendi kopyanızı 3D Printer yardımı ile oluşturabilirsiniz. Hiperform Hiperformlar, Koman'ın keşfettiği en zarif ve anlaşılması zor formlardan biridir. En basit hiperformlar, dört eşit kareden oluşan dikdörtgenlerden oluşturulur, köşeleri 2π ve katları olacak şekilde bükülür ve birleştirilir. Aşağıdaki link den alınmış şekilde bu en basit hiperformların nasıl oluşturulacağını göstermektedir. Akgün, Tevfik et al. “Developable Sculptural Forms of Ilhan Koman.” (2006).

Arte İstanbul Sergisinden Koman’ın “Portal” (Ana Kapı) adlı heykeli İlhan Koman Vakfı tarafından 2008 yılında Boğaziçi Üniversitesi’ne bağışlanarak Kuzey Kampüsteki yerini almıştır. Bu kapının warehouse platformunda 3D modeli de bulunmaktadır. İlhan Koman’ı öğrencilerimize tanıtmak için kullandığımız sunuma da buradan ulaşabilirsiniz. Keynote, Pdf İLHAN KOMAN’IN ESERLERİ BUGÜN HANGİ MÜZELERDE? Stockholm Modern Müzesi (İsveç), MoMA (ABD, New York), Palais des Beaux Arts (Fransa, Paris), Seattle Art Museum (ABD, Seattle), Museo J. Batlle (Uruguay, Montevideo), Musee d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (Fransa, Paris), İstanbul Resim Heykel Müzesi. 17 Haziran 2019’da Google’ın İlhan Koman Doodle’ı “Can science and art meet in one place?” asked Turkish artist İlhan Koman, born in Edirne on this day in 1921. “I'm trying to realize this meeting in sculpture… I'm trying to create new forms.” Today’s Doodle celebrates the multidisciplinary sculptor whose wide-ranging interests and endless experimentation with various media and techniques, as well as mathematical concepts, led some to call him the “Leonardo Da Vinci of Turkey.” As a child, Koman enjoyed playing with bolts and screws, and spent hours at a local blacksmith’s shop, watching the craftsman work with metal. When visiting relatives in the seaside city of Istanbul, he made models of ferry boats in the harbor and planned to become a shipbuilder before deciding to go to art school. Upon graduating from Istanbul’s Art Academy, he moved to Paris, where he studied during the 1940s, opened a workshop, exhibited his own abstract sculpture, and spent hours in the Louvre admiring the ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian art and the work of modern masters such as Rodin, Brancusi, and Giacometti. While representing Turkey in the 1958 Brussels World's Fair, he met the architect Ralph Erskine, who invited him to work in Sweden. It was there that Koman would also teach at Stockholm’s Konstfack School of Applied Art. In the 1960s, he bought a two-masted wooden sailboat called the Hulda, which he adapted into a studio and living space. During his time in Sweden, Koman began what he called his ‘Iron Age,’ exploring the malleability of metal. He created many public works, the best known of which is the monumental sculpture Akdeniz in Istanbul. The 4.5 ton figure of a woman with outstretched arms was fashioned from 112 strips of metal.

Vedic Kareleri & Vedic Kurtçukları ve Spirolaterals Aşağıdaki görsellerin çarpım tablosunun kendisi olduğunu söylesem? Şimdi kendi çarpım tablosu sanatımızı yaratalım. I. Bölüm: 1. Alttaki çarpım tablosunu dolduralım. 2. Sonra, iki basamaklı sonuçların rakamlarını toplayıp tek basamaklı sayılara indirgeyelim. Örneğin 7x8= 56 sonrasında 5+6 =11 yine iki basamaklı bir sayı, bu yüzden devam edip 1+1= 2 olarak tablodaki yerine yazıyoruz. 3. Her bir rakama farklı bir renk atayarak kareli boyayalım. Örneğin, tüm 1 ler turuncu, 2ler mor, 3 ler mavi gibi… 4. Boyama işlemini tamamladığınızda Vedic Karenizin ilk çeyreğini bitirmiş olacaksınız. Şimdi, bu kareyi önce dikeyde sonra da oluşan şeklin yatayda simetriğini çizerek çoğaltalım. Çift ve Tek Sayılar Teknoloji köşesi: Farklı şekillerde boyamak ve denemeler yapmak için MS excel, Numbers ve Google Sheets gibi tablo yapmak için kullanılan programları kullanabilirsiniz. Conditional Formatting seçeneği de burada çok işe yarayabilir. Bunun dışında ilk kareyi çoğaltmak için en basit kopyalayıp yapıştırma ve şekli ters çevirme opsiyonlarını deneyebilirsiniz. Tartışma Soruları; Antik bir sanat olan Vedic kareleri tarih boyunca kuşkusuz ki bilgisayarda üretilmiyordu, teknoloji sanatın yapılma şeklini nasıl değiştirmiş olabilir? Teknolojinin diğer sanat alanlarını nasıl etkilediğini düşünüyorsunuz? İslam Sanat Tarihini araştırdığınızda benzer şekilleri nerelerde görüyorsunuz? Özellikle Mimari eserleri de araştırmanızı öneririm. II. Bölüm : Noktaları Birleştir! Sayıları ilk boyadığınızda da gözünüze çarpan örüntüler olmuştur. Şimdide Tablodaki her karesinin tam merkezinde bir nokta olduğunu düşünelim. Sırayla, 1leri, 2leri, 3leri birleştirelim.. Hangi örüntüleri fark ettiniz? Oluşturduğunuz tasarımlar arasında farklılıklar ve benzerlikler var mı? III. Bölüm: Spirolateral nasıl yapılır? Spirolateraller, basit bir kuralın tekrarlanmasıyla oluşan geometrik figürlerdir. Her desen, belirli bir açı ve yöne sahip bir sayı dizisinden aynı uzunluktaki çizgi parçalarının çizilmesiyle oluşturulur. Spirolateraller herhangi bir sayı dizisiyle oluşturulabilse de, biz ilk bölümde oluşturduğumuz Vedic Karelerini kullanacağız. Bu yüzden oluşturacağımız desenlere “VEDIC Kurtçukları” da denir. Tablodaki her satır ya da sütun kullanacağımız sayı dizilerini oluşturuyor. 1. Şimdi ilk yapmamız gereken istediğimiz bir satırı ya da sütunu seçmek. 2. Saat yönünde mi saatin ters yönünde mi ilerleyeceğinize karar vermek. 3. Dönme açınızı belirlemek. Bunu sizin için üzerinde çizim yapacağınız zemin kolayca halledecektir. Örneğin kareli kağıt kullanıyorsanız, dönme açınız 90 derece. a. Kareli Zemin (90 derece ) b. Üçgensel Zemin (60 derece ) c. Altıgensel Zemin (120 derece) … 4. Artık spiral şeklinde çizimlerimize başlayabiliriz. Örnek olarak, ilk satırı seçip, (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9), saat yönünde ve kareli kağıt üzerinde çizip yapmayı denersek; 1 yukarı, 2 sağa, 3 aşağı, 4 sola, 5 tekrar yukarı, 6 sağa, 7 aşağı, 8 sola ve 9 tekrar yukarı şeklinde çizime başlayabiliriz. 5. Başlangıca dönene kadar veya deseninizin asla başlangıca dönmeyeceğine ikna oluncaya kadar devam edin. Teknoloji Köşesi Use the Polypad Canvas here to create your multiplication table Spirolaterals Bu desenleri çizmek için GeoGebra yı da kullanabilirsiniz. Burada da “snap to grid” seçeneğini de mutlaka işaretlemeyi unutmayın. Böylelikle hem daha kolay hem de daha düzgün çizimler yapabilirsiniz. Matematiksel Gösterim Yandaki şekli 3 sub 36 olarak adlandırıyoruz.. Bu desenin, 3 sayılık “1, 2, 3” dizisi ve 36˚ açı ile yaratıldığını belirtiyor. Siz de kağıt üzerindeki çizimleriniz bittiğinde, linkteki spirolateral yaratan programı kullanarak farklı açılarda çizimler yapabilirsiniz. Oluşacak şekillerin hepsi birer sanat eseri! *** Tartışma Soruları: i. Yarattığınız desenler ne tür simetrilere sahip? ii. Serilerdeki sayılara bakarak, bir spirolateral’in simetri türünü veya kapalı bir spirolaterals deki döngü sayısını tahmin edebilir misiniz? iii. Aynı sayı dizisini ve aynı açıyı kullanarak sadece iki farklı yönde çizim yapsam, oluşan şekillerde nasıl değişiklikler olur? iv. 120˚ lik dönme açısı ile hangi sayı dizileri kapalı bir şekil yaratır? EXTRA: Scratch programını kullanarak spirolaterals yaratın! https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/22122810/ SPIROLATERAL VE VEDIC KARELERINI FARKLI ZEMINLER ÜZERİNDE ÇİZMEK VE AKTIVITENIN TAMAMINI PDF OLARAK INDIRMEK ICIN LÜTFEN BURAYI TIKLAYIN.

We can explore many mathematical concepts by using this activity. For thousands of years, devices have been used to measure and keep track of time. Sundials, pendulum clocks, hour glasses are used till the invention of mechanical clocks. Today atomic clocks are used to tell the time precisely. There is a very nice article and a video on “A History Of Timekeeping” Page by British Museum. You may also check the History of Timekeeping Devices on Wiki Essential Questions: Why 1 hour is 60 minutes? This question can lead a discussion about factors and multiples. What are the different number systems in human history (Babylonians to start with) that uses the sexagesimal counting system? Watch the video from Numberphile. The current sexagesimal system of time measurement dates to approximately 2000 BCE from the Sumerians.

For the image and explanations, please check Britannica for Kids. A blank wall clock Create Your Own Math Clock CONCEPT #1: FACTORS AND DIVISORS If you can divide a number A by a number B, without remainder, we say that B is a factor (or divisor) of A, and that A is a multiple of B. Factors always appear in pairs such as 12 = 1 x 12 12 = 2 x 6 12 = 3 x 4 1 and 12, 2 and 6, 3 and 4 are called the factor pairs. So, the whole list of factors of 12 is {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12} The factors of 60 are _________1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30 and 60. The total number of factors is of 60 is ___12 CONCEPT #2: DIVISION AND FRACTIONS We can define the non-whole number quantities by using fractions and decimals. For instance, a half is represented as ½ whereas a quarter is represented as ¼. In fact, most of the numbers can be represented as fractions. 0.2= 1/5 0.333.. =1/3 0.142856.. = 1/7 1 = 1/1 = 2/2 =3/3 … 1.5= 3/2 =6/4= 15/10 .. 2= 2/1 = 4/2 = 6/3 .. When we say half an hour it means you have ___30 mins. A quarter of an hour is only ____ 15 mins. So half past ten: ____ 10:30 A quarter past three: _____ 3:15 A quarter to nine: _____8:45 CONCEPT #3: ANGLES We need to divide the blank circular clock into 12 equal parts to be able to insert the numbers. But how we can divide a circle into 12 equal pieces? It is time to explore angles. What are the types of angles? ______________ So we have a _____ 360 degrees angle to divide by ____ 12 It means, the circle will have numbers to represent hours in every _____ 30 degrees. There are 60 minutes in every hour. So the minute-hand needs have _____60 stops. Since 360 degrees : 60 = 6, we need to put a little mark on every_____ 6 degrees for the stops of the minute hand. To be able to measure any given angle or draw an angle with a given measurement we need to use the _________ protractor. Angle Measurement is a very important skill for all of us to grasp in early ages. If you need, lease watch the angle measurement video on YouTube “Drawing Angles With a Protractor”. Let’s start putting a mark in every 6 degrees. Do not worry we are going to do this only 60 times. Do not forget to insert hours in every 30 degrees. CONCEPT #4: CIRCLES Up to now, we have explored many concepts related with circles. To start with, we can figure out that all the points we have inserted on the circle are equidistant to its center. The set of all equi-distant points from a given point is called a _____ circle. The place we put our protractor to measure and draw the angles- which is exactly in the middle of the circle is called the ______ center of the circle. The hour marks are on the ___ arc of the circle. If we connect the center of the clock where we are going to insert the minute and hour hand and any mark on the arc, that segment is called the _____radius. Twice the radius is called _____ diameter. Diameter can help you to figure out the dimensions of your clock. The clock I have has a diameter of 24 cm. So on the wall, if I find a square 24 by 24, my clock will definitely fit in it. Each angle we measure is called the ______ central angle. These terms will also help us to communicate better. If you want to color your clock, you may need to calculate the area of the clock to see how much paint you will need. The length of the radius helps us here. The area of any circle is π times the square of its radius. To make a rough estimate, you may multiply the square of your clock’s radius by 3. When we insert the battery in, the clock starts ticking. That moment is the one that we can start talking about time measurement and all related problems. We can definitely raise this to make a fancy mathematical clock. Pick a number or use the numbers of your birthday and try to express 1- 12 in terms of the number(s) you choose. You can use all the operations you know. Mind the order of operation!

Flextangles are paper models with hidden faces. They were originally created by the mathematician "Arthur Stone" in 1939 and became famous when Martin Gardner published them in December 1956 issue of The Scientific American. Although you can find many different examples and ready to use templates on the web, the best method is to create your own template by using an interactive geometry software like GeoGebra. As a class activity creating flextangles by using a software can lead to discussions about translation and reflection. Flextangles, gizli yüzleri ortaya çıkarmak için esnetilebilen kağıt modellerdir. İlk olarak 1939'da Matematikçi Arthur Stone tarafından yaratılan flextangles, Martin Gardner'ın 1956 Aralık ayında The Scientific American'da yayınladığı makalede yeralınca, ünlü hale geldi. Webde bir çok örneğini ve taslak çizimlerini bulabileceğiniz flextangles için, GeoGebra gibi herhangi gibi geometri programı kullanarak kendi tasarımlarınızı da yaratabilirsiniz. Flextangle ları bir sınıf aktivitesi olarak program yardımıyla tasarladığınızda öteleme ve yansıma konularında da pratik sağlıyor.

There are many puzzles about the number squares you can draw by using the grid points ( lattice points) on a given grid. Here is an example; The correct answer is not 9 (the number of 1x1 squares). There are many other squares you can create using the given points. These hard to catch tilted squares makes these puzzles interesting! Now we have a harder puzzle to work on! What is the total number of squares that can fit into an n x n grid? *Lattice squares are the squares whose vertices are on the grid points. There are two types of lattice squares, grid ones and the tilted ones. Let’s define a "grid square" as a square whose vertices are lattice points and sides are along the axis. (vertical squares). They are easy to create and have square number areas. A "tilted square" is a square whose vertices are still lattice points, but its sides are not along the axis. Tilted squares have whole number areas. The side length of a tilted square can easily be found by using the Pythagorean Theorem. Now, let’s have a look at a 3 x 3 squares and find the total number of grid and tilted squares that can be drawn using the lattice points. The number of grid squares that can be drawn is 9 +4 +1 = 14 Now, let’s find the number of tilted squares The number of tilted squares that can be drawn is 4 + 2 = 6. Then, the total number of lattice squares is 14 + 6 = 20 by using the points of a 3 x 3 grid. One may wonder if there is a short way of finding the number of squares for an n x n square. The questions we need to answer are; The number of grid squares in a n x n square The side length of the biggest tilted square that can be drawn in an n x n square The number of tilted squares in a n x n square The total number of lattice squares in an n x n square. Any relation among the number of tilted squares and grid squares We need to investigate all the possible squares carefully and record our findings systematically to be able to find answers to these questions. Here is a Polypad file you can work on to make drawings; You may need more grids to highlight to create different squares. Good luck! ------ ***------ SOLUTION We can start solving this puzzle by remembering another one! Famous" Checkerboard Puzzle". The answer of the Checkerboard Problem gives us the number of grid squares. To be able to find the total number of squares on a checkerboard, we need to consider that the board has 2 x 2 squares, 3 x 3 squares, 4 x 4 squares and so on other than 64 unit squares. If we organize our findings in a table. We may easily see that they follow the pattern of square numbers. Number of Grid squares in a n x n square; So for an n x n grid, the number of normal grid squares is simply the sum of the square numbers. One way to express the number of grid squares in an n x n grid is; When it comes to find the number of the tilted squares, we may discover different patterns. If you need an extra help for finding the side lengths of the tilted squares, you may have a look at the Square Areas on Grid Polypad Activity. When we organize the data for the tilted squares, one particular pattern can catch your eye. The number of √2 x √2 squares also follows the pattern of square numbers and so does 2√2 x 2√2 and 3√2 x 3√2 … The other tilted squares with the side lengths √5, √10, √13 … can be tricky to count. Be aware the symmetry of the square can make a different square now! √5 x √5 Example in a 4 x 4 grid square; There are 8 of them. If we have a closer look to 4 x 4 grid square, we see that there are 20 tilted square and 30 grid squares. Now, let’s have a look at the 5x5 case; Now there are 50 tilted squares and 55 grid squares. If you repeat the same steps for a 6 x 6 grid; We see that there are 105 tilted squares. You may realize that; In a n x n grid, the total number of grid squares and tilted squares, is equal to the number of tilted squares in a (n+1)×(n+1) grid. Now, let’s try to figure out the side length of the biggest tilted square that can fit into an n x n grid. Let “c” be the side length of the tilted square in a grid. By Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2 and we also know that a+b can be at most n units long. a+b <= n For example in a 5 x 5 grid; you may draw “a+b” can never exceed the value of n. Let’s now try to write the side lengths of the tilted squares which will be added to the list for an 7x 7 grid. Find a + b <=7 the new values will be 6 +1 , 5+2 and 4+3 Now, let’s organize our findings about the tilted squares for each n x n grid; Here you may want to double check your results by comparing the patterns you have discovered before. Try to write the new values for 7x7 One way to express the number of tilted squares in a n x n square So the total number of lattice squares in a n x n grid can be found by These expressions can also prove our previous discovery about the total number of lattice squares in a n x n grid, the number of tilted squares in a (n+1)×(n+1) grid. One of the best outcomes of working on a problem like this is the beauty of the solution! Extension: Can we derive a formula for the total number of lattice squares in an n x m rectangular grid where n>m?
