Hope everyone’s enjoying summer vacation!

Teddy,

This is Cool, and a great story! Any thoughts about contributing an article about this to BrickJournal?

For you, Scott, anything.  I've been thinking about publishing something in the
mathematical literature, but I'd love to write a more accessible article for a
general (brick-obsessed) audience.

It surprises me how little I have read about Lego bricks in the classroom.
Physics and engineering seem to have clued in, but why anyone would use
Cuisenaire rods when you can use Lego bricks instead is quite beyond me.

For now, I'm off to church camp to run a Lego Storytelling workshop.  We may
post our results on Brickshelf--stay tuned.

And stay tuned also for further chapters of Lego Bricks in the Mathematics
Classroom.  Y'all are gonna flip when you see what my topology students built.

Until then,

-Teddy
