Max recently added to his growing annotated compilation of
videos that "deepen inquiry into teaching math, and student
inquiry into learning math."
Math education highlight reels include:
-
children inventing methods for doing
double-digit arithmetic
-
a kid "thinking SO HARD about making change"
-
illustrations of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)
Mathematical Practices
-
podcasting combined with virtual manipulatives as a form
of one-on-one assessment

Perfection
http://perfectiongame.net/
This elegant game for iPhone, Android, Mac, PC, and Ubuntu
challenges players to take convex and concave polygonal shapes,
and cut them into the outlines indicated.
Perfection's $0.99 mobile app scored "Indie Game of the Year"
honors at the 2013 Philadelphia Geek Awards earlier this month.
Gaming reviews describe Perfection as "eschewing much of the
trappings of modern gaming to be a pure, untouched package" and
as "Fruit Ninja for smart people."
Perfection's designer, Greg Lobanov, is an undergraduate at
Drexel University's Westphal College of Media Arts & Design:
