  • June 2022 - Math Outdoors

    In our everyday life, even if we are not always consciously aware of it, we are using math to understand and make sense of the world.  This is especially true when we are engaging in tasks outdoors.  Exploring the outdoors, whether in a forest or in a busy downtown core, offers a wealth of mathematical learning opportunities.  This summer, take the time to discover the different and exciting math in your community and beyond.

  • May 2022 - Spatial Reasoning

    Do you know that working on your Spatial Reasoning actually helps develop stronger number sense and overall mathematical understanding? 

    “Research on spatial reasoning substantiates the critical importance of spatial reasoning abilities in geometry, measurement and problem solving both early in students’ mathematics experiences as well as later in high school and beyond, especially in STEM areas” (Shumway, 2013, p. 50).

    So, what exactly do we mean by spatial reasoning?

Math Problems

Here is the current math problem of the month as well as the previous month's problem with a solution and extension question.

  • May 2022 - Math Problem

    The number 15 can be written as the sum of consecutive whole numbers in three ways.  

    15 = 7 + 8 

    15 = 4 + 5 + 6

    15 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5

    In how many ways can you write 105 as the sum of whole numbers?

    Solution: 

    Here are five ways:

    105 = 52 + 53

    105 = 34 + 35 + 36

    105 = 19 + 20 + 21 + 22 + 23

    105 = 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 18

    105 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14

    In how many ways can you write 24 as the sum of whole numbers?
