For some reason, last week was a week of Mickey Mouse Math.
Oh, and a simple way to do the 8 times tables on your fingers.
What on earth does Mickey Mouse have to do with mathematics? Well, it starts with the concept of a Hidden Mickey – a Mickey Mouse face hidden in a scene. This article explains how to find them.
I followed this up with three math puzzles and a pen-and-paper game, all revolving around finding Mickey Mouse faces in a pattern of circles.
All good brain exercise! Have fun!
Yours,
