Day 11: #MathArtMarch prompt: "proof". Eat pizza via the result of a proof. Pick a point in your pizza and cut pieces with equal angles around that point. Number the slices as you rotate the pizza. One diner gets even slices, the other odd. By the end, they eat the same amount. Yummy Pizza Theorem!

Day 8: Plot a rotation point on a piece of paper. Then rotate a line 5 times equally round that point. Increase the distance and do it again. Iterate to create a pattern like that below which ties into the #MathArtMarch prompt of "pentagon".
