Number Nuggets
… because math should be fun
What do you notice? What do you wonder?
“I see triangles.” (Kindergarten)
“If I put two triangles together I can make a square.” (Grade 1)
“There are four rows of 4 plus 3 that equals 19.” (Grade 2)
What is a Number Nugget?
A number nugget is an invitation to talk about the math we see in our world every day. It could be a simple photograph of an endcap at the market, a picture of a mural in our neighborhood, a data visualization from the news, or a handful of conversation hearts. Number nuggets reinforce the idea that math is all around us; there is always something to count, measure, estimate, and talk about.
Number Nuggets are culturally relevant and celebrate the math we find on our streets, in our homes, and within our many celebrations.
We hope you, too, are inspired to take photos everywhere you go. A picture is worth 1,000 math expressions!
