Math Detectives

Learning Goals: Real-World Math, Number & Shape Recognition, Documenting Learning

    • Take a small group of students outside, or into the hallway at school.
    • Encourage them to look for math all over the school.
    • Students can document their learning by taking photos of the math that they see around them or creating a list with words and/or drawings. 
    • Prompt and extend students’ contributions. What numbers do they see? What shapes do they see?

     

We are the Play Learning Lab, run by Dr. Angela Pyle at the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education/University of Toronto.
