Description of a Math Trail
“A math trail consists of a sequence of stops along a pre-planned route on which students examine mathematics in the environment. Math trails can be used by students of any age, preschool through college level. They offer concrete learning experiences for any of the mathematics concepts taught in the school curriculum.” (Richardson, 2004)

What we will do:

 * Read article from Teaching Children Mathematics, Designing Math Trails for the Elementary School (2004) by Kim Margaret Richardson.
 * Watch the Kay Tolliver Video of Math Trail, []
 * A grade level and strand will be assigned to each group.
 * Each group will develop a math trail with a minimum of 4 sites
 * Each site must have an activity appropriate to the #|grade level and coded with the appropriate GLE and/or SPI in addition to the Common Core Math Standards.
 * Each group needs to provide evidence that they solved/completed the activities for each site.
 * Use a camera to take pictures of each site. Create a Prezi to show your math trail. Be sure to use your photo(s) for each site in your presentation. Trail directions should begin and end at G-213
 * Embed your group’s Prezi to the appropriate tab on our math wiki. Also include a direct link to the Prezi to use as needed.

Your score will be determined by the following for a total of 75 points. Rubrics are provided on the following pages. I. Group Score provided from another team following your trail - 25 II. Individual Participation Score from your Team - 25 III. Dr. Suters’ Score - 25
