Students learn lots of math concepts at school, yet many are unable to apply this knowledge to their interests outside of the classroom. Maker Maths highlights the math that exists in different making projects and provides students with an opportunity to enhance their math understanding in an applied and personalized way. The first kit, Maker Maths Pinball, guides students to use their geometry knowledge to create and play this classic arcade game. With scaffolded instructions, reflective prompts, and challenge activities, students identify key math concepts, test making techniques, and reflect on their process. Through Maker Maths, students get to apply math in an innovative and engaging way.
