ThinkFun Fun!

This photo was a part of a series of photos taken for our ThinkFun Game Club catalog. It was fun. This was taken in my "office" / math and puzzle room in my house. This is a beautiful space for me to work in because I'm surrounded by all the material things that inspire me. My collection of puzzles, my math books, my puzzle books, my games, etc... A real creative space for me. I have a couple of huge thank yous to mention for this photo to be taken. Some of you may recall that I usually wear my black Math Cape. Whenever I go to conferences for SNAP Math Fairs, I would fly around in my cape.
Well, I wanted another one for my ThinkFun work. And my mother, as she always does, came through. She traveled all across Simcoe county to find just the right material, and then sewed the cape together for me. She is wonderful and amazing and I love her! Thanks Mom!
I also want to thank my friend Mat. Mat took the photos for me. I met Mat last year as we taught at CCI together. He is a kindred spirit with me as we taught with similar styles. He loves puzzles and games and making math fun for students. He is a wonderful friend. And he's really good with a camera! So he came by on Friday (on his way to take his wonderful wife, Laura, out for her birthday dinner) and snapped away! I actually had fun despite having my photo taken, especially with the "action" shots! Mat was awesome and helped me make my Friday deadline. Thanks so much Mat!
So look out math world, I will be flying in to a conference near you! My mission: to spread the word about ThinkFun's Game Club - the program that has found the magic formula! Teaching kids problem solving while they play!
