Pasta Shapes!

Math and shapes are everywhere… even in your food! Different SHAPES of pasta give us a different experience and TASTE!

Architect George L. Legendre collected and organized 92 different pasta shapes and studied their design! He says, “it’s really just trigonometry… everything is done with two functions”… ASK your kids about trigonometric functions SINE and COSINE – the invisible mathematics of pasta!

Different SHAPES of pasta give us a different experience and TASTE! Have you ever eaten fisarmoniche or strozzapreti?!
