Field trips offer both cognitive and affective benefits, yet they are hardly ever taken in math class. We will present ideas for hands-on experiences outside the classroom—including some created by students—that help students live and breathe mathematics in the local community and finally answer the age-old question, “When will we use this?”
Presentation Format: 6-8 Gallery Workshop
Grade Band Audience: 6 to 8, 9 to 12
