Learned this trick at the Singapore Math conference earlier this month. The kids take a camera and "go find some math" outside or around the school. The idea is to expand the conversation of mathematics outside the realm of our textbooks and workbooks. Geometry is a favorite to look for, but we also found fractions, ratios, measurement, approximation, and estimation. We even touched on The Golden Ratio... still learning about that one.
