Finding the most interesting number on our hunt
was a hit with all the passersby, as you can imagine.
Number 20 got the biggest thrill of all when they told him about it!
My group spent a good deal of time watching the workers heat the crosswalk lines onto the road. Fascinating! The world is full of amazing things!

So after our exploration of the library, we trekked off around Hanover on a Math Photo Scavenger Hunt! Our two main goals included practicing sidewalk safety and etiquette as well as looking for some of our math concepts in the real world. We had a blast, and so did a lot of unsuspecting bystanders in Hanover, such as the construction workers we asked to be in our picture. Over the next few weeks, our blog will highlight each one of the challenges on our scavenger hunt along with some math websites you might like to check out to further explore that concept. Math is everywhere!
We love math! Would you believe that the second and third graders can solve algebraic equations like this on their own? 4x + 5 = 2x + 13 ! We have been playing a game called Hands-On Equations and challenging our math minds.
