Some Contradance Thing

The reason for the radio silence is because I’m working on something. This something is a class, a workshop, a talk, a bunch of lunchtime conversations and not getting enough sleep. Here’s a pretty picture. I’ll tell you that it’s related to math and it’s also related to contradancing. I won’t tell you how or why, because I want to ask my students that question and I don’t know the exact ramifications of this yet. I will tell you that the top of the picture is the top of the dance.

Some Contradance Thing

The problem was posted by my colleague Amy Cann, solved by fellow math teacher Abihah Reed on a napkin, and I just made this drawing of the solution on GeoGebra.
