Playing with blocks, putting together a puzzle, ordering and rearranging... our youngest students are natural math investigators. But why relegate the fun of physical play and exploration to grade school? Why not continue to captivate students with a math lab kit that gets kids working together and exploring mathematical phenomena with engaging manipulatives? The National Museum of Mathematics is piloting Math Made Real, a series of six activities designed to capture the interest – and the minds – of students right at that critical age when many start to walk away from math. Designed to be distributed in classrooms around the world, Math Made Real will provide teachers with a way to get students excited, and keep them engaged, with the richness of mathematics.
