Parents, if you are interested in some math fun that encourages some great learning, you will want to check out this site– Moebius Noodles: Math Adventures. It is all about problem solving for the young, the very young, and the young at heart! There will be 10 lessons that the Moebius group will present during July for parents to try with their kids of any age (and adapt as needed), with a chance to connect with the Moebius group via computer. The Math Adventures would even be a great project for a play group or math club!
The main course activities will happen July 7th through July 28th. The organizers say you should expect to spend about two hours a week on course-related fun. The results of all the participants will be combined to produce an open-licence book about mathematics education.
Information about the project as well as copies of the previous book (in either pdf format or paperback) can be found on the main page for Moebius Noodles.
If you want to formally participate in the group, you need to sign up soon (they request that you sign up and complete prep tasks by July 7, 2013).
It sounds like a great opportunity to me! What’s not to love about more math!!!
Mathematically yours,
Carollee
