Here are a few examples that I found of #mathinmyworld!
Patterns, Fractions, 3D shapes
Geometry, Symmetry
(And I just came up with the question, How many triangles do you see?)
Symmetry, Measurement
Pairs :)
I'm going to keep this idea fresh in my mind so that I can use it with my 4th graders in the fall. I'd love to be able to have them put together some sort of collection of math they find in their world so that we could share it and have others add to it. Hmmm....
I have to make sure to share my math life with students more! Have you seen the website 101qs.com? It has great math pictures for each day. It has made me think more broadly!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting, Erika. I don't know that website but will check it out! I'm going to strive to share my math life more, too.
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to see this post and love that you are seeing math in your world. It sure is fun looking for it. I also appreciate the shout out and highlighting my idea. You've found some really interesting photos to share with students. I love, love, love the question about how many triangles!
Thanks for sharing this idea, Mandy! I don't consider myself much of a math person, so when I can find something that gets me excited about math, I like to go with it! :) I'd love to see how students would carry this out.
