Can you help with wonderful & easy to acheive ideas for a hat for Maths Week?

[Thomcat]

They want me to have made it by next Friday.

"Make the most mathematical hat you can think of"

Any ideas?

I'm RUBBISH at making stuff.

A top hat and pretend to be Albert Einstein.

LOL, hi TC, don't usually see you over here! I will have a think. I have just finished making a 5ft giraffe with DD!

Have you got a hat you could use as a "base" and decorate it?

Oh a top hat is a good idea. i could buy one from a joke shop couldn't I. And then decorate that...........

Right, ummm decorate a top hat, with...........with..........with ummmmmmmmmmmm, errrrrrrrrrrrr.......... some numbers yes but I don't have numbers lying round the house.

Told you I was rubbish!

A 5ft giraffe!!!!!!!!! Good God!

a rubics cube
a clock
a snowflake
a cone made from a circle

I am quite happy to cut you some numbers with my die cutting machine but they aren't that big!

Have a look at DD and the giraffe

and the type of numbers I could do here (scroll done to the card pic, numbers in the centre of flower! I do have some other number dies but I think these are the largest.

Print off a picture of Einstein and stick it on. Or make an einstien collage to stick on. And add his quote which I like 'do not worry about your difficultiues in mathematics, I can assure you mine are greater'

and he said something about imagination being more important than knowledge

What I would do (and not at all secretly have fun doing) is get a great big sheet of squared paper or card - eg A3 graph paper, I'm sure I've seen it in stationers; draw a net for a cuboid on it (maybe with extra amusing bits to be like sticky out edges as a kind of brim idea); cut out the net, fold it to make the shape and wear that as a hat.

It would also be "decorated" with OTT felt-penned measurements along the sides.

nets great idea

a dice
a playing card

I have a warm fuzzy glow for you all.
Am in awe.
Especially of the giraffe.
Oh my God it's amazing.
You properly clever amazing woman!
WOW!

Am smiling at Einstein quote. Think I would have liked him very much

Could you make a hat out of a mobius loop somehow?

what about a pork pi hat

Ahhhhhhh the old mopius loopus, yeeeeeeeesssssss !!!!!!!!!

obviously i meant mobius, ^obviously'

FMF I laughed.

How about mathematical symbols cut out and stuck on.

moebius strip crown!!

oh i'm not the first
lol at pork pi
or if you forget, let her say it's an imaginary (number) hat - the square root of -1

thanks, not bad for someone who is maths-phobic eh?
