Students and Teachers building connections to place, culture, community and each other

Students build individual understanding of a maths concept or a
Math Big Idea

Through the use of:

• Manipulatives
• Art materials
•?!

A shift to a pedagogy of noticing and wondering

Student centered learning that is socially constructed, active and collaborative.

Here is how to make it happen:

• Discuss what maths you want to explore with your
students, book a date and come to the studio at ARYE
and experience!!
