Join faculty at St Philip's School and Community Center and talkSTEM on a math walk. They stop at the school garden and discuss how they can estimate the volume of water conserved? This video was supported by City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs.... CONTINUE READING
High school members of the Women in STEM club in Greenhill School stop at the playground on their math walk to share some math with the second graders. On the playground, we can see many different "tri-circles"! What is the easiest way to count how many of them there are? We try counting using different methods, such as counting in 2s, 3s, and 5s. This video content was contributed by community members from the Greenhill School - we invite all interested groups to reach out and find more informa... CONTINUE READING
High school members of the Women in STEM club in Greenhill School stop at the playground on their math walk to share some math with the second graders. There are angles all around us on our campus, including in the branches of the trees, and the walls of our buildings. How can we use our angle-a-tron tool to measure some of them? What can we learn about the different angles around us? You can freely print the shapefinder tool as well as the angle-a-tron tool onto an acetate using this pdf:... CONTINUE READING

High school members of the Women in STEM club in Greenhill School stop at the playground on their math walk to share some math with the second graders. We have found a really big number of bricks in our pathway. How can we estimate how many there are? If we created a tower out of the bricks in the pathway, how tall would it be? We use number arrays and multiplication to find out. This content was made by community members from the Greenhill School - we invite all interested groups to reach out a... CONTINUE READING
Elementary students in the after school club came up with ideas for a math walk around their campus. In this math walk stop, they explore the hallway leading to the school cafeteria through their math lens. Research conducted during this semester-long afterschool club led to this research paper: Wang, M., Walkington, C., & Dhingra, K. (2021). Facilitating Student-Created Math Walks, Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 114(9), 670-676. Retrieved Sep 17, 2021, from... CONTINUE READING
