The Way

“Math by the Month” activities are designed to engage students to think as mathematicians do. Students may work on the activities individually or in small groups, or the whole class may use them as problems of the week. No solutions are suggested, so students look to themselves for mathematical justification and develop confidence to validate their work. Most children have done some type of traveling. Whether it is a trip around their neighborhood, to another city, or to a different state or country, traveling is an adventure. This month, students will use the context of travel to engage in mathematics problems that promote logical thinking, graphing, measurement, number sense, and problem solving. With summer on the way, it is time for a trip!
