About the task card border designs:

If you teach mathematics or statistics, there is a good chance that you enjoyed playing with Spirograph as a child. Spirograph is a toy that involves tracing a circle moving around either the inside or outside of a wheel, making beautiful designs. Well, these designs can also be made on a computer with graphing software and some trigonometric functions. Added bonus: no smudged ink or accidentally moving the paper! Although they aren’t statistical per se, these Spirograph-inspired designs are a great opportunity to convey the beauty of mathematics to students. Spirograph-inspired task card borders are available for purchase here.
