I thought I'd share this. Julia is well-known in the education community, to which she has contributed enormously.

If you are able, consider contributing, no matter how little. Everything helps.

I remember doing all sorts of crafts with glue & paper learning fractions but never did we try dividing the paper to infinity— I think this should be something everyone tries. I’d do this with calculus students learning series! The idea of an infinite sum having finite value is just more— believable after you really do it. And I’m trying to get these 6th graders to like fractions. So they just can’t be BORING—

Another infinite section of a square.
More squares but reassembled in different patterns.

I did this when I was 7. I started with a desk-sized piece of drawing paper, and it got me in trouble because it came from my mother's desk-size artist's sketch pad, and according to her, I didn't ask. (According to my memory, I did ask.)

@NatureMC @futurebird I had no idea!
