Hello, my name is Seanna, I am 13 years old and this blog is part of my Girl Scout Silver Award, granted on October 5th. My silver award project was to inform fourth graders about the importance of mathematics. I provided a presentation to the fourth graders in my school about how math is all around us. We use math in music, science, writing, video games, art, to name a few. To support on my statement and project, I visited the Museum of Mathematics (MoMath) in NYC and videotaped the exhibits. I created a Power Point presentation of my visit and research and presented this to the class. After the presentation we broke into groups and played fun math games. Some examples of the games are included in my blog and they are, Math Beach Ball, Math Relay, Power Tower, Straw Flute. At the end of the session the children said what their favorite game was Power Tower. The children went home with prizes and my presentation, included in this blog link, along with the math games and web links.
