Elementary my dear Watson! A Book Club, of course!
Community Building & Mathematical Art with ZOOM
Amazing Day linking together 5 different groups for a fun afternoon exploring Escher Tessellations. Each group made a tessellation quilt. What could this look like if every school made one? What would it look like if we put them together as a product of a school district?
Exploring Geometry
3D Fractal Investigation
Students create 3D fractal. What mathematics can we investigate? Fractions, patterns, Surface Area, Volume. What mistake about the pattern of volume do you think students make as the cubes get smaller? How can the visual help them correct this mistake? So much fun!
INVESTIGATION
At midday the sidewalk pushes up, at dusk or dawn, it’s flat. WHY? How can we explain this? What would we need to know? How do we fix it? What else can we ask?
Fun With Fractals, Measurement, Patterns, & More!
