If you are in NYC April 19, 2025, Meet the Artist: Topological Crochet Artist Shiying Dong might be interesting to you. https://momath.org/composite-gallery/meet-the-artist/
MoMath used to run an Online Topological Crochet class. I'm not sure if they will be bringing it back, though. https://momath.org/onlinecrochet/

This reminded me of Math Pickle.
Math Pickle (https://mathpickle.com/organized-by-grade/) has a lot of kid-friendly math puzzles that are easy to explain but can become quite intriguing.

I really enjoyed reading "Tales from the Ant World" by Edward O. Wilson. So fascinating!

I've been a fan of Nikoli puzzles since discovering them through the US Puzzle Championship exam years ago. I always wanted more practice but had a hard time finding paper puzzle books to work with. Especially if I didn't want a book with Sudoku. Anyhow, just a few months ago, I discovered two puzzles books at Barnes and Noble!

I've recently come across Latin as I was reading "The Well-Trained Mind" by Susan Wise Bauer. It's a book describing how to provide a "classical education" to kids at home. (I'm homeschooling my two young kids this year and reading everything I can about how to homeschool.)
The author strongly recommends having the kids learn Latin. In case anyone is interested, some resources/curricula for homeschooling Latin she mentions in the book include Prima Latina, Latina Christiana, Song School Latin, Latin for Children, The Big Book of Lively Latin, The Latin Road to English Grammar, and Latin Alive!.
Anyone have experience/thoughts/opinions on teaching their kids Latin? Or even learning Latin as a kid?
