It's unfortunate, because most handicrafts are extremely mathematical in nature. Whenever I teach geometry, multiplication, division, and a few other concepts, I take in craft magazines and books to show my kids. Where will you find a better example of basic geometry than in a quilting book, for example? And this is not the only mathematical application of crochet that I've seen, though it's the highest level.
