It’s a Lego, it’s a calculator, it’s all kinds of fun. Although I’d imagine it’s still not enjoyable enough to make people actually want to do math. In today’s world, if you really want to get some interest going, you’d have to create something like a breast shaped calculator that has 24 pressable, problem solving nipples. That would be money in the bank, my friend.

What is 90 degrees in radians? The Unit Circle (Radian) Wall clock claims to provide easy answers to questions like this—but make sure to double check. The pop quiz wall clock made similar claims, but commenters were quick to point out that there were minor inaccuracies with the calculations and no actual calculus (despite the title). If you are wondering if everything is correct with this version, don’t look at me. I’m an art and English nerd—how the hell should I know?

Multi-tasking just got a whole lot easier (and more stylish) now that the MoMA store is carrying Naori Miyazaki’s Mobile Calculator. The thin cell phone inspired design looks great and it makes it possible to do your calculations using only one hand. I’m not too thrilled about the display, but it does feature a clock function—which is always useful. Then again, an actual cell phone has all of these functions as well, which makes this entire concept kind of redundant.
