Exploring Math in the World Around Us
The natural world can be used as a catalyst for exploring numeracy concepts in fun and healthy ways. Doing math outside can include using natural materials in a child’s community to act out problems, finding math in nature, and applying math in an outdoor environment.
MMSA partnered with educators across the state to explore effective strategies for integrating math learning into real-world settings in 2021 and 2022. In this program, K-5 educators collaborated to utilize and create resources for teaching Numeracy in Nature.
