For some amazing inspiration via a favorite YouTube videos that went viral (almost one million views!), check out one child’s powerful math-infused project. It is amazing what you can accomplish with boxes, tape, imagination, creativity and MATH!
for PARENTS:
This is a good article that speaks to the home-school-parenting tasks that face us right now.
Click, hover over the article and it should open up for you to read.
This article was recently posted in the New York Times. If you are working with your child on math, you may find this article helpful. It is nicely written.
One of my favorite websites is: https://www.youcubed.org
This is a site created by the math education department at Stanford University in California. Dr. Jo Boaler and Cathy Williams are the directors of YouCubed. I had the honor of attending a workshop with these wise math educators at Stanford. I also met with them when they came to Rochester for the Association of Math Teachers of New York State Conference this past fall.
You will find lot of games, activities, articles, (and suggested readings for parents and teachers here.)
These cards, video, and suggestions can be found through the https://www.youcubed.org website.
The above Blog post is from Dan Finkel and Katherine Cook from their website Math for Love.
Follow along to the WEB LINKS page (found under More) There you will find some great linked sites.
Recently, I included a site titled Math at Home link. This is wonderful, especially the ACTIVITY OF THE DAY. Check this often it changes every day. You can also check out past problems.
What fun!
All you need is tape, and a ruler, yard stick or masking tape. Then use your legs and JUMP!
Look at the table below to see how far an average jump is for these animals.
You can make a table to keep track of how far you and your partner can jump. How much more did you jump than your partner? Did you jump as far as an animal? What other math questions can you ask, then answer? Can you use <, =, >, for your jump in relation to an animal's jump?
Below are some frog facts.
Which frog is the longest?
Which jumps the farthest?
Can you tell how the jump/body length ratio is figured out?
(Clue: It has to do with a fraction , and division.)
With the American Bullfrog, Think: 8/83 =83 divided by 8 which rounds to 10.
