<p></p><p>Mr. Honner from the mathematics department is excited to share a new series he has written for the <i>New York Times Learning Network</i> that turns mathematician Steven Strogatz’s wonderful “Math, Revealed” essays into teaching and learning resources.</p><p>The first installment is about Taxicab geometry, and includes reading and discussion prompts, activities from algebra to calculus, and suggestions from Professor Strogatz himself. If you’ve ever wondered how π could equal 4, or what a perpendicular bisector looks like under the taxicab metric, check it out!</p><p>You can find the first article <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/learning/lesson-plans/teach-taxicab-geometry-with-steven-strogatz.html">here</a>, and look for new articles on topics like Golden Ratio and Triangle numbers each Tuesday at the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/section/learning">New York Times Learning Network</a> over the next few weeks.</p>
