Показать описание
Two ropes plus two dance moves equals a fascinating mathematical puzzle! Working as a group, Amanda Serenevy directs us to use fractions to undo intertwined ropes without seeing the tangle. This dance is also a mathematical model that relates to contemporary DNA research.

At the end, we brainstorm questions about the puzzle that could lead to new discoveries, and talk a bit about what it means to be creative in the discipline of mathematics.
