Resource:Earth Day - Take Your Math Outdoors
Provider:Googol Learning
Summary:Here are some fun math activities themed around Earth Day 2008 and other activities in recognition of TV Turnoff Week (April 21-27).
Description:Stuck in a math rut? Go take a hike! Print out a few pages from this website and bring them along. There's plenty of mathematics to be discovered in nature. Find patterns, count, measure, do trigonometry, and much more!

On this page you will also find links to other pages on the site where you can:

*Listen to an mp3 discussion of math concepts.

*Explore Eco-Math -- Math doesn't need to be a dry, dusty subject. Did you ever stop to think about where math came from in the first place? Why, it came from the great outdoors! So it's only natural to learn mathematics in its "natural" context.

*Visit other sites that combine math and nature studies.

When you've finished exploring this page, here are a few more Earth Day and TV Turnoff Week sections for you to explore:
