Math For Spring

Fun and informative activities encourage kids to get outside, play with objects found in nature and learn about math along the way. By measuring worms, building snowmen and splashing in puddles, for example, kids ages 5 to 8 will learn about basic mathematic operations, shapes, time and more. All activities promote active living and an understanding of the natural world, while developing important character skills, such as teamwork and cooperation. Cross-curricular applications make Outdoor Math a strong institutional choice. Fun, quirky illustrations demonstrate each activity and show kids that learning about math can be all fun and games!

There is beautiful mathematics in the natural world. In this book a child takes a spring math walk in search of interesting treasures. Colourful photos and an easy to access text invite both children and adults to explore the wonders of the spring world. This book can spark mathematical conversations with children, and be used as a guide for discovering the rich math that exists in nature. Photos can also be used to engage children in math talks as they observe and discuss what they see. Mathematical facts for each photo are provided at the end of the book that can be used to prompt readers in learning more about how math shapes our natural world.

This is the third book in the Seasonal Math Activities series to help teachers make math more interesting and even fun for their students.

"Kids love to move. But how do we harness all that kinetic energy effectively for math learning? In Math on the Move, Malke Rosenfeld shows how pairing math concepts and whole body movement creates opportunities for students to make sense of math in entirely new ways. Malke shares her experience creating dynamic learning environments by: exploring the use of the body as a thinking tool, highlighting mathematical ideas that are usefully explored with a moving body, providing a range of entry points for learning to facilitate a moving math classroom. ..."--Publisher description.
