| National Science Foundation |
| This website is dedicated to introduce young children to other concepts traditionally not taught until the university level |
A quick search of the web led to today's National Science Foundation website, which outlines a number of delightful activities exploring this concept, each in its own module such as:
Abacus Arithmetic
Topology Tricks
Wrapping Paper Symmetry
Math is a Piece of Pi
Bridges of Koenigsberg
Binary Numbers
Geometry Gems
Algorithms, Braids, and Kolam Figures
Clock Arithmetic
Secret Codes
Construction by Instruction
Mathematics of Music
Methods of Multiplication
The Slide Rule
Cake Walk Math
Mirror, Mirror
Make a Mountain Out of a Map
Math 'N Music Notes
You Can Count On It!
Wow! Inspired by the modules on this website, you can start your own "Math Might," where students age 5 to 105 can do hands-on exploration of exciting math that most people don't even get to find out about until high school or college. You don't need to be a math wiz; everything you need is right here on this website.
Why should mathematicians have all the fun? Get your kids' friends together and do clock math, play Mancala, figure out the day of the week 25 days from now, make friendship bracelets, color Pascal's Triangle, and much more. For each module, be sure to read "About This Module," which explains the math concepts that the students are learning as they play. And don't miss the convenient guide: http://orion.math.iastate.edu/mathnight/guide/, a .pdf document which lists grade-appropriateness for each activity.
Under "Other Activities" on the menu to the left side of your screen, you will find a few additional games to try using pencil and paper, plus grade-appropriate sample questions for a quick game of Math Jeopardy.
Check it out! And enjoy! |
