Nature and Numeracy
The program will introduce teachers to observing local biodiversity and the mathematics used to describe its patterns. One day every month, we will invite resource people to conduct nature-based activities with teachers that they will be encouraged to test in their classrooms. Through these trials and feedback from teachers, we will draft a student workbook on "Nature and Numeracy".
