What if every interest area in our classroom was a space for mathematical play and exploration? It is! This session will outline ways to utilize our indoor and outdoor classroom spaces to provoke mathematical thinking and conversation. Inspiring math curiosity can be as simple as introducing a few new materials. We will also share cases of following student interests to create temporary math provocations that engage students. The approaches shared will inspire ideas for your own classroom environment.

Session topics:

• Following student interests
• Introducing math materials into interest areas
• Co-creating temporary provocations
