About this Blog

Welcome to Math Inside and Out, a collaborative blog to share ideas, activities and inquisitive explorations to math in its broadest sense, inside and outside the home, school and other places.

We are mathematics educators and parents interested in shared family/ household mathematical meaning-making activities. This blog began in the time of physical distancing due to COVID-19 in British Columbia, Canada and our interest to contribute to at-home math teaching and learning. 

Through this blog we’re keen to explore activities that take us inside and outside the home, that can connect us with the natural world and the body, and encourage thoughtfulness and understanding of the patterns inspiring big mathematical ideas. And most of all we’re keen to explore activities that connect us to each other.

How to contribute:

Jump in – you’re welcome to contribute ideas, experiences and activities. Post comments and images of the activities you try. Post ideas for activities with potential to explore mathematical ideas. Exploring and sharing math ideas in our worlds can bring us together.
