From the heart
 Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: February 14th, 2010  Posted in: Everything Tags for this post: Maths | Mr TLC.  I don’t really do Valentine’s Day. To say Mr TLC dislikes it would be putting it rather mildly, so to be honest, it’s just not worth the hassle.
I changed my mind today though, when Peter Rowlett tweeted a link to a Möbius Valentine’s card. (Yes, I am more than mildly obsessed with Möbius strips lately, but more of that later.)
It’s really simple: two Möbius strips get glued together to make the ‘card’. When both strips are cut in half it forms two interlocking hearts. Very apt – and rather fantastic. I’ll be making these in school next year.
Did I offer the card to Mr TLC? No, but I had fun making it.
There’s an article here, the instructions are here. Enjoy!

The real three-legged cat
Welcome! Hi, I'm Lois Lindemann. Welcome to my blog!
This is where I blither on about life, the universe and everything - sometimes even three-legged cats.
I am: a resident of Sheffield (it's been my home town for more than 20 years), a Londoner, a teacher of maths and ICT and a student of French.
I like: cats, Sheffield, walking, doing the pub quiz, maths, cooking, reading, red wine, theatre, weekends in London, cycling, eating out, museums, gardening, going to the cinema, real ale, learning French and spending far too much time online. (My partner, Mr TLC, says this is making me sound like a lonely hearts ad. Oh well.)
Any opinions expressed in this blog are my own, I don't claim to speak for anyone else in education or outside of it. If you disagree, feel free to comment!

Möbius strips get me in a twist.
I enjoyed doing that. I really did. Thanks
