How high a level of math are we talking about?

Phi is really neat how it ties in to absolutely everything alive. They didn't teach it to me in school. After I learned about it in my own I co stanly wondered why they never taught it in school.

I would do chais theory, it's easy, and you really only have to explain the sets to make it work. (Cantor, mandelbrot, and julia)

It explains fractals as an illusion of chaos in ordered sets.

Hope this helped, i'm always here if you need math/physics help or ideas. Love the subject area.

8th grade if you're wondering
That's fine, so what class is it? (It's always variable now, i had geometry in 8th)

Rass

Square root of negative one

Fun concept

It doesn't have to be a specific topic. It is any concept out there.

Just explain what an iteration is, it includes like half of all mathematics.

Yes, describe the imaginary constant i. Easy to understand, easy to write about. Do this one.

Fibonacci Squence and its relationship to animals & the universe. But I'm a scientist so stuff like this just makes me smile.

Also I love the suggestion of Pi and how it is basically everything.
