Porism

Imagine you build a sandcastle at the beach. Now you have a bucket with more sand and you want to build more sandcastles of the same size and shape, but you cannot use the same amount of sand for each one. This is what Porism is all about: finding a way to make the same shape or pattern, even though you have different amounts of your building material.

In other words, Porism is a math problem that explores how to create similar shapes or patterns using different amounts or sizes of building blocks. It is a fun way to challenge your math skills and creativity.
