Mathematics for the Fun of It — Activities

During summer vacations, on rainy days, while waiting at the doctor's office or on a stroll through the neighborhood, learning never ends.

Children can explore some fascinating mathematical possibilities in the world around them every day. For instance, math can be found outdoors in nature: Look for symmetry in leaves; count the number, sizes and kinds of trees on your street; and look at the various shapes and patterns of blooming flowers. Children will be learning math and enjoying it, too! The activities in this section can be done anytime and anywhere.
