Math Travels is based on classroom research of what might be when young students engage mathematically with a sense of wonder.

Experience 4 worlds of math pattern & beauty

  • Learn conceptual connections and relationships that span across grades
  • Engage students with big math ideas in low-floor & high-ceiling settings
  • Investigate coding extensions
  • Send copies of placemats home for students to share their learning!

Each Math World is original work of art depicting a unique setting, like a beach, an underwater world, or an archaeological dig, to give the aesthetic feel of a new destination and experience.

Math concepts are carefully chosen, represented, arranged, and juxtaposed to reveal patterns, elicit wonder, offer low floor access with minimal prerequisite knowledge, and high ceiling depth and complexity.

Placemat prompts have been translated to French and Spanish.
