      Having a math outdoor kit is fun for children to collect things at the scene and put together their measurement and designs in terms of patterns, classification, shapes and spatial relationship. I would use different kinds of measuring tape or ruler and add in pegs, wires or yarns for hanging works.

      I really love the tin lunchbox idea. I’ll try to find one for each child and then change the contents regularly to keep them excited to open them. I’ll have to think about what I can safely use with under 2’s. We have so many pine cones and now we’ll be graphing for weather because I never knew that they opened and closed like that!! When you work with little ones your first thought is about safety and I feel like the course brings a whole new perspective, instead of saying ‘put the sticks I’ll be saying what can we make/do with that!!

      After reviewing this section… I have purchased some items to put a kit together. I like having a travel bag that can be taken anywhere outdoors. I would think the kids would love to open it and take the items out to start play as well.

      I have started an outdoor kit for the classrooms. So far they consist of, timers ( i have a sand timer and a cooking timer), I’ve added some unifix cubes ( for measuring), dice, rulers in different sizes, 6inch or 12 inches, I also have a yard stick that will be left outside for the kiddos to use. There will also be writing material for children to document their observations. Pencils, markers, crayons, paper.

      I think it would be fun to add small containers for collecting and sorting. I have some Mason Jar bands that would be interesting to place around sets of small object like stones or acorns. I might add some paint chips in nature colors and have children try to match them to things in the garden. Then they could record how many things they see in that color.

      I like the outdoor kit, however I can’t get into my center to fill it at this time. However I can put together some things I may have around the house .

      I love the idea of a mystery lunch box and the tip about using small wooden cubes in the kit. I have some of these cubes and hadn’t thought of a good use for them. This afternoon I was in the middle of doing this class and I had a timely sidetrack. I heard a tree cutting truck outside my house so I rushed out and had them cut a small log into smaller sections. Later this evening when I saw the Tool Kit video with the Math Everywhere pictures I realized that they could be used in a garden. It was a lightbulb moment for me.

      I will try to get my math kit together for before this class is done but might have some trouble finding the container that I would actually use. Is that okay?

      kitchen timer, some legos, washed out empty spice containers, egg carton (cut in half or even thirds so it will fit), cardboard shapes

      Finding it challenging to collect materials at home, with my classroom being closed. But getting there!

      Love the idea of having a mini math kit and my favorite idea is the little white cloths.

      The video was very helpful in learning how to prepare the math kit. Great examples of how to use the materials. Never would’ve thought to use money outdoors, but now I can’t wait to implement that. And I also learned something new about pinecones!

      What a great idea to create a mini math outdoor kit! I love the idea of the white cloths. I think I would have two children work together on one cloth and promote cooperation and the sharing of ideas with a partner. Also like the idea of showing pictures from nature and having children observe & discuss the patterns, shapes & symmetry.

        Wonderful! You are in great shape! This week we are getting everyone on the same page. If you have any pictures of your mini math kit that you are creating….that would be fun to see.
