I have been spending the summer teaching a math class to kids ages 8-12. This wasn't just any math class, it was Mighty Math! With kids of mixed ages, I decided not to place emphasis on computation. We focused on number sense, patterns and geometry. All students made a Mighty Math book where they recorded their findings throughout the course!
 |
| One of my favorite days! Square roots with Cheez-its! |
 |
| Most of my students had never heard of nor tasted cheez-its. Most LOVED them! |
 |
| Looking for a pattern in perfect squares! |

My next favorite day was Volume by Play-Doh!

| Students are looking for Pi |
 |
| What is the ratio of circumference to diameter in any circle? |
 |
| Pi! |
 |
| Not sure that's a circle, but she wanted to measure me anyways! |
 |
| Students looking for the Golden Ratio on the human body |
 |

| Fibonacci Numbers and the Fibonacci Spiral! |
