Accompanying Resources

Create a Theme Park Math Project

What does Disney World and math class have in common? Apparently… lots! The Create a Theme Park math project combines things all kids love-roller coasters, food, and creativity- with interesting math concepts. The level of engagement and creativity exhibited during this math project was off the charts! The real-world applications conveys meaning to children so they’re not left asking the age-old question: when will I ever use this in real life?

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind Novel Study

While William Kamkwamba uses his knowledge of science to bringelectricity to his village, we find that he depends on the natural energetic powers of force and motion to accomplish this goal. Likewise, Kamkwamba represents the forceful power of growth mindset, as a young boy who, in spite of not being able to afford his education, chose to learn and grow anyway.
