Let’s talk. Send me a message with your email and I’ll get back to you!

🎧 What if you could take math outside and still hit your learning goals?
Say goodbye to packets and hello to sunshine ☀️—because spring is the perfect time to take your math lessons
outdoors without sacrificing rigor.

In this episode, I’m sharing two of my favorite math projects that work perfectly outside and still cover those key standards. Whether you’re wrapping up a unit or just trying to harness that end-of-year energy, these real-world projects will get your students moving, engaged, and learning.

We’ll explore:
🌟 Why outdoor learning increases focus and engagement
🌟 How outdoor settings bring math concepts to life
🌟 Two epic, student-approved math projects:
Rocket Project – Quadratic functions meet water-powered fun
• Kite Project – Geometry, trig, and similarity in action

Plus, bonus ideas like sidewalk chalk graphing, math scavenger hunts, and geometry photo walks to add a little sunshine to your standards.

📎 Resources & Links Mentioned:

🎯 Want to try these in your classroom? Grab them from my TpT store and bring some fresh air into your lesson plans.

Until next time,

🎙️ Celebrate the end of testing season with hands-on math fun! 🪁 Try our Kite Project for National Kite Month and tackle volume and surface area with the Teach Better Podcast Network. Better Today. Better Tomorrow. And the Podcasts to Help You Get There.
