Each week this class will outline a different way math can be found in nature by listening, discussing, and creating art inspired by math and nature.

US Grade 3 - 6
Math is around us all the time. When we take a hike and look at the beautiful trees, animals, and other wildlife we are also looking at mathematical patterns. Knowing about the math that is around us helps us all be better critical thinkers and opens up a whole new view to the field of math as well as the study of nature. Each week this class will guide learners through a new way math can be found in nature, and after listening to me explain and a short discussion each learner will create a...
Students will understand that nature follows many mathematical patterns as it grows, and they will gain the skills to pick out these patterns when they are exploring natural phenomenon.
I specialize in finding fun twists to standard curriculum to help my students build critical thinking skills as well as scientific knowledge. By adding a new twist to a familiar topic we can expand our thinking to include new possibilities. I have taught math to homeschool students for the last 15 years and during that time I have developed many teaching techniques and hands-on projects to help students explore concepts in new and exciting ways.
The materials needed will depend on the lesson studied for the week, but typically will consist of either blank paper for drawing or a printout I will provide before class begins. Learners will also need pencils and possibly markers or other coloring utensils.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
