🎧 What if you could take math outside and still hit your learning goals?
Say goodbye to packets and hello to sunshine ☀️—because spring is the perfect time to take your math lessons outdoors without sacrificing rigor.
In this episode, I’m sharing two of my favorite math projects that work perfectly outside and still cover those key standards. Whether you’re wrapping up a unit or just trying to harness that end-of-year energy, these real-world projects will get your students moving, engaged, and learning.
We’ll explore:
🌟 Why outdoor learning increases focus and engagement
🌟 How outdoor settings bring math concepts to life
🌟 Two epic, student-approved math projects:
• Rocket Project – Quadratic functions meet water-powered fun
• Kite Project – Geometry, trig, and similarity in action
Plus, bonus ideas like sidewalk chalk graphing, math scavenger hunts, and geometry photo walks to add a little sunshine to your standards.
