Exploring math in everyday environments helps students see its relevance and develop problem-solving skills.
Examples
- PreK-3rd grade: LearnLead provides resources to help families and educators find math in the built environment, as well as in museums, with a focus on young learners from pre-K to 3rd grade.
- Older Students: This video illustrates the practice of a Math Trail, where older students actively engage with their surroundings, observe mathematical concepts in the community, and create math problems for others to solve.
STEM in Black Churches: Founded by Whitney Gaskins, EPICC in Cincinnati brings STEM learning to Black churches. See this Q&A and this video for more information.
