The photo to the left shows the backdrop we used. Two of my staff had a lot of fun creating it but it doesn’t need to be this detailed. A title and a few fun math symbols would work great. You could even have upper elementary students or the Student…
A little over two years ago I started writing this post. And then the pandemic hit and everything changed. And although we’re not quite back to where we used to be – and may never be – I thought now would be a good time to finish that post.

We just updated our website to make it a little easier to navigate. Check it out here (or click the logo above).

They’ll then decide which of the 5 stations they want to explore. Maybe it’s the Estimation Station where…
