Math Awareness Month Activities

Here are some great activities to help you celebrate Math Awareness Month!

Weaving with a Wrinkle
Math/Art Use this weaving idea to have each student create an array of a multiplication fact. First, create a basic basketweave pattern with contrasting shades of construction paper. Then loosely weave in a thinner, brighter-colored strip of paper, leaving enough of it standing upright to create a "loop." You can also use one short strip of paper to weave under only one warp, then tie the ends to create a loose knot. Have students display the arrays with the corresponding fact: 6 x 7 = 42 loops or knots.

Use Do You See a Pattern? to teach your students that patterns are part of what make math so beautiful.

Paper With a Twist—Paper links and loops can help kids study patterns and reinforce their three-dimensional thinking.
