Some elegant math problems naturally generate beautiful graphs that excite both sides of the brain. We will consider the Euler line, the Four Turtles problem, and the segments that halve the area of a triangle, which generate hyperbolas. Halving the triangle is appropriate for elementary school, and the Euler line and Four Turtles are appropriate for algebra courses.
