Look at how we off set the numbers again. Now if we were multiplying 51462 by 111… How could we find the answer to this? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5935f5372b963937157768/1556937317709-08TCF9B3S7Q53L0NJL3D/multiplying+decimals++Page-01.jpg Posters - Multiply Decimals Sometimes it helps if you think of decimals like money. The dollar can be represented in parts and those parts can be shown in decimal form. But next we need to see if we understand without the money representation. Once you understand place values it’s pretty simple. Give us a chance to get there. Illustrating takes time :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5935f5372b963937157768/1556937916256-JF2B4LV2QOOGIMDCV67G/IMG_6300.JPG Posters - Quick Maths Quick Maths are great brain workouts. Once we know why we’re doing the math we do, we can explore even more ways to do the same math. Sometimes we can teach ourselves mental math. Mental math means we do most of, or the entire, calculation in our heads. Pretty awesome! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5935f5372b963937157768/1556938221220-6BTOAQ6ZGQFSJRDZTYE2/IMG_5875.JPG Posters - Divisible By 7? This can seem a bit tricky. We’re not finding the exact answer. We’re checking for a possibility. I actually did this problem 3 times before I had all my calculations correct. It’s good to play with numbers. This is how we build our number sense. Pick another number and give it a try. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5935f5372b963937157768/1556938591902-RYS4NZNR7AHFDPQHCTCL/IMG_4601.JPG Posters - Math Is A Science Math takes thinking, and questioning. It’s in that thinking place where we let our brains explore that we find our way into math. Notice I did not say, we find our way through math. That’s because if we want to learn math, we can’t charge through it, we need to be in it. Just like scientists. Think of archeologists, they explore, and dig deep to find answers. That’s where we need to go with math. Always exploring and digging deeper. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5935f5372b963937157768/1556939083575-8FLH6UK6ICAHA1NFYD8G/IMG_4933.JPG Posters - THe i's Have It This is for our Algebra peeps.

That is where I learned to appreciate patterns. I was thirteen when I had my math aha moment; it wasn’t in a math class but in music. Fractions suddenly made sense. I had a few teachers who encouraged me, which led me to want to pursue mathematics. I’m now both a university professor, and a tutor to Lil and her friends. Together we are on a quest to find and understand the mathematics within them and their world. To do this, they need to learn how to play math. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5935f5372b963937157768/1556817833603-AHK68PH0D0Q7D9R2XP5Y/ohbutterflies.jpg Home Page Cali Noether I like math, but it makes me nervous. Sometimes the class goes too fast, then I get lost. I have a hard time asking questions because I’m kind of shy. Usually by the end of class I just have a stomach full of butterflies, because I get math anxiety. I think I can be good at math if I just relax. Professor H. is going to help me with that. She says the first thing you must do if you’re going to learn anything is relax. Then pay attention, and keep a positive mindset. She says we do that naturally when we play. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5935f5372b963937157768/1556819696420-TLGAOILR1XRWCKL2PX7C/IMG_6080.JPG Home Page Ash Newton I have to admit, I’m pretty good at math. I can do the math, most of the time. It’s how to explain what I did that gets me. How do I make sense of all the numbers and symbols, and put it into words? The professor says it’s like writing a story, I just have to get better at understanding the language. Knowing what the meanings of the parts of math is a good start. I can also use manipulatives like blocks, tiles, coins, and other stuff to help visualize what the numbers and symbols are saying. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5935f5372b963937157768/1557117542285-YZWM26MRP6MUX6D36MUN/OMG1.jpg Home Page Reed Isaac I can do math, but I’ll admit I’m a little too fast for my own good. I tend to take shortcuts. Sometimes they work and, well, sometimes they don’t. I have to make sure I know why the math works before I take the easy way out. Easy isn’t always best, but I do know there is always more than one way. So when the professor asked if I wanted to play math, I said, yes. Now I get the chance to twist and bend numbers, and ask the big question, “what happens if…?”. I guess I’ll also get the chance to find the answer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5935f5372b963937157768/1556818663687-BM5HCR18A84FFZVPZ66O/fullsizeoutput_6.jpg Home Page Oliver Carroll I actually don’t understand why I need to know math. I don’t get it at all. Most of the time its hard and confusing. I want to like it, but learning it isn’t much fun, especially when the same thing is repeated over, and over, and over. If it didn’t make sense the first five times, the sixth time isn’t going to either. I’m not the only one confused. I heard a boy say math is stupid. Maybe he’s right. The Professor says, we are going to stop working and start playing math. Then I’ll see why we need it, how it’s essential, and that I can learn it, if I just play. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5935f5372b963937157768/1556820370398-6L6JKRZTVLT05L720WLU/think1.jpg Home Page Lily (Lil) Edgerton I love math. I think everyone should know how and why we do math. So I wanted to do more to make that happen. I decided to question math. The professor says that I started a quest, because I’m looking for answers. I asked my friends here to join the quest. We hope to gain a better sense of numbers and become…fluent, that’s the word. Here is where the fun begins. We are going to take math outside, empty it onto the ground and sort it out like a puzzle. We are going to play until we figure it out. We’ll clean up when we’re done. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5935f5372b963937157768/1556999680456-6XE5M0NDC18D8Z8PFQOT/LilLogoJpeg.jpg Home Page
