Summary
No video gets me more email from students! How few colors can you use to color in any map so that no two, neighboring regions are the same color?
- First, we introduce the idea of coloring in regions on a map with a very simple example that needs only three colors.
- Then, we increase the challenge a bit with a second map that still only needs three colors.
- Next, we present an even more challenging map.
- We reveal the coloring problem's true solution: no map needs more than four colors.

Teachers love Byrdseed.TV!
"I absolutely LOVE all of the ideas on your site. I am using Byrdseed TV to differentiate activities for my clustered students to work on when the rest of the class is doing something they've already mastered." ~ Wendy in Washington
"I just subscribed to Byrdseed.TV and am loving it -- though it is kind of scary addictive in a binge-watching kind of way (that, by the way, is a compliment)." ~ Elizabeth from Florida
"I LOVE these videos. It's like having two teachers in my classroom." ~ Kristi in Ohio
