61 Mathematics OTHER SESSION IDE A S: • Batter Up Baseball with Baseball Hall of Fame • Budgeting 101 with Kim Dymond • Fraction Action with Ann Arbor Hands on Museum • Fraction Frenzy with Frontier College • Fraction Hero with Challenger Learning Center • Grandfather Tan with Mali Bickley • Mathimals with St. Louis Zoo • Musical Math with Manhattan School of Music • Origami and Math with Cleveland Museum of Art SH A K E A ND ROLL with Frontier College Shake and Roll is a collection of cards and dice games designed to highlight the concepts of math in a fun engaging way. These activities are a great way to encourage and develop the math skills of children. By playing, listening, watching, and talking about these games, helps to reinforce children's mathematical understanding. TESSELL ATIONS A RT with Winnipeg Art Gallery Artist M.C. Escher brought together Math and Art in his imaginative tessellation artworks. See some examples of tessellations and learn how to create your own creative tessellation artwork in this Virtual Workshop. This is a project that takes more time than the one session allows. It can be started in the session Virtual Tour, and then completed with the classroom teacher during regular class time. CRE ATING CODING WITH LY NX with Code to Learn Students will code beautiful geometric patterns and designs, interactive stories, or simple video games. Workshops can be single or a series–it's up to you and your class! Previous experience with coding is not required, however computers* with an internet connection are needed. The ideal setting for these workshops would be a projection device and 1 computer for every one or two students as it will be highly interactive and hands-on. *Windows, Macintosh, Chromebook, or iPad with keyboard. CIRCLING THE BA SES with Baseball Hall of Fame One of the great features of baseball stadiums and fields is that no two are alike. Maybe there's a big hill in center field, as in Houston's Minute Maid Park, or maybe there's a 37-foot tall "Green Monster" forming Boston's le field wall. Outfielders need to know the dimensions and special characteristics of the fields in which they play to help them decide how to field the ball. Make an informed decision in a dugout full of shapes, area, perimeter, diameter, Pythagorean theorems and other aspects of geometry while learning about some of the "angles" of playing baseball.
