Math enrichment activity?

Hi fellow teachers,

This year, I've been teaching a weekly "math enrichment" class for the more advanced math students in our 7th grade.

It's my first time running this class, and with a couple weeks left, I'm running out of ideas. Any suggestions for a good thought-provoking math activity for that level? Thanks!

Some topics I've used already:

  • probability / combinatorics

  • binary numbers

  • Fibonacci sequence

  • abundant, deficient, and perfect numbers

  • how many diagonals can you draw in an n-gon?

  • Magic Squares

  • finding lines of best fit
