2. Pattern Blocks - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_blocks

   Pattern Blocks are a set of mathematical manipulatives developed in the 1960s. The six shapes are both a play resource and a tool for learning in mathematics, which serve to develop spatial reasoning skills that are fundamental to the learning of mathematics. Among other things, they allow children to see how shapes can be composed and ...

3. Circle packing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_packing

   In geometry, circle packing is the study of the arrangement of circles (of equal or varying sizes) on a given surface such that no overlapping occurs and so that no circle can be enlarged without creating an overlap. The associated packing density, η, of an arrangement is the proportion of the surface covered by the circles.

4. Farey sequence - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farey_sequence

   In the SVG image, hover over a circle or curve to highlight it and its terms. There is a connection between Farey sequence and Ford circles. For every fraction ⁠ p / q ⁠ (in its lowest terms) there is a Ford circle C[⁠ p / q ⁠], which is the circle with radius 1/(2q 2) and centre at (⁠ p / q ⁠, ⁠ 1 / 2q 2 ⁠).

5. Packing problems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_problems

   v. t. e. Packing problems are a class of optimization problems in mathematics that involve attempting to pack objects together into containers. The goal is to either pack a single container as densely as possible or pack all objects using as few containers as possible. Many of these problems can be related to real-life packaging, storage and ...

6. Math circle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Math_circle

   A math circle is an extracurricular activity intended to enrich students' understanding of mathematics.The concept of math circle came into being in the erstwhile USSR and Bulgaria, around 1907, with the very successful mission to "discover future mathematicians and scientists and to train them from the earliest possible age".

7. Field of fractions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_fractions

   e. In abstract algebra, the field of fractions of an integral domain is the smallest field in which it can be embedded. The construction of the field of fractions is modeled on the relationship between the integral domain of integers and the field of rational numbers. Intuitively, it consists of ratios between integral domain elements.
