Math for America

MƒA’s Math Trails provide a unique way for teachers to engage their students through outdoor activities. Prepared by Ron Lancaster, a Lecturer in K-12 Mathematics Education at the University of Toronto, the MƒA Math Trails take teachers through a planned route and allow students to answer mathematical questions related…… to what they encounter along the path. Through the experience, students make the connection between math and many subjects, including art, design, architecture, science, geography and history.

This summer, we embarked upon a math trail surrounding the Rubin Museum of Art. Watch Ron Lancaster and a group of teachers follow the trail, and get some ideas for your classroom! More on MƒA’s Math Trails here: http://www.mathforamerica.org/mathtrails. （更多内容）
