As you walk around your home or on your way to school keep your eye open for objects that portray any learned math properties. If you are able to bring your object to class, that would be great. If not, maybe you could post a video or a description of your object.
For example, did you ever notice the geometric pattern of a honeycomb? Sidewalks have the property of parallel lines. What about airplane runways and parking lots? Before construction workers build a car ramp do they know ahead of time how many cars they want to house or do they have only so much area and whatever it holds, it holds?
As you go through your day, keep your eye out for MATH OBJECTS!!! Check out the websites below to help you connect math with real world communities.

ReplyDeleteThere are so many mathematical objects seen in life. For example; every day, I ride my bike to school. I live a little over a mile away from the school. In order to calculate my speed, I would simply record my speed. I would divide the distance I went by the amount of time it took me to get there. I would then have an average overall speed.
