Facilitator Notes
Participant Pre-Work
Ask participants to keep their eyes open for photos that would elicit students’ curiosity and wonderings that have mathematical potential. They can bring in their own photos for inspirations.
Facilitator Pre-Work
As facilitators, we provided a bank of images that teachers found of interest to share with students. You can find them here.
