@paysmaths LOVE LOVE LOVE the power of a point. It helps generalize several theorems that students typically learn separately.
Wrote about it here:

added a draft of a compass + paint toy today and played with it:

Finished making a post for Beautiful Chords today with some extra tools. It would be really easy to keep going and make a Monte Carlo for random chords, rotations of connected shapes, moire strings, shadow art with strings, etc.

Introduction In this inquiry, we explore chords, which are lines drawn across circles, using different rules to create various patterns, curves, and shapes. This inquiry will be different from those in the Inquiries Series in that it will be more open, with a focus on math + art play. Activity 1:
