Everyone knows mashed potatoes are one of the best parts of Thanksgiving. It's hard to beat smothering a plate of turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing in a layer of gravy - along with the requisite cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, and green bean casserole, of course! But what if you could bring math with you to the dinner table to maximize the deliciousness?
In this fun holiday video, watch mathematician Victoria Hart calculate how best to form your mashed potatoes to hold as much gravy as possible, using concepts related to perimeter, surface area, and volume. What kind of math do you want to bring to dinner?
