Drawing straws is a selection method, or a form of sortition, that is used by a group to choose one member of the group to perform a task after none has volunteered for it. The same practice can be used also to choose one of several volunteers, should an agreement not be reached. It is a form of the practice of drawing lots, only using straws instead. (Wikipedia).

Modeling A Perfect Quartic Binomial (An Attempt) #SoME2
During our tutorial of the 4th dimension this last school year, I had the idea for this build that I wasn't even sure I could make. This video walks from the 2 dimensional binomial up to the 4th in a (hopefully) cogent manner. This is also an entry for the Summer of Math Exposition 2! #S

Trigonometry - Sketch an angle using a point
Many times we think of angles floating around in space, but we can connect them to what you already know about graphs by putting them on a coordinate axis. Watch in the examples how we can take a point, and use it to define an angle. For more videos please visit http://www.mysecretmathtu
