Projects
LOOK: MATH! is dedicated to inspiring youth to see math in a different way. By following the adventures of Alpha “the Math Loving Dog” children are encouraged to LOOK at all the MATH around them and to begin to see the world in a different way.
The site currently focuses on a series of short web-based videos that follow Alpha on his adventures and resources and materials that parents and teachers can use with their own children.
Coming Soon: Follow Alpha on his adventures in his very own online, interactive book!
Dr. Pam currently works for the The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences as an Academic Coordinator developing math curriculum and projects for kids, parents, and teachers alike. One of these programs is Ask a Mathematician, where mathematicians come virtually into classrooms to share their expertise, experience, and love of math.
This program is also generously supported by the Math Knowledge Network
In collaboration with Women on the Move we hosted a two-day escape room pop-up as a way to build interest in how math can have practical uses.
We learned a lot in the process as well about how people learn and interpret information.
You can learn more about this is a blog post we did on our experience for the LOOK: MATH! website.
