‘Bee’ a Math Whiz! – The activity encourages children to consider the importance of bees in our world. Math problems illustrate the work of bees, including the need for them to act as pollinators. The Dear Colleague letter discusses the connection of math to other parts of the curriculum along with the necessity of considering academic language as we plan lessons. Primary and intermediate versions of this activity are available. A companion Emergent level activity is also provided. All correlate with the Number and Operations Strand and the Problem Solving Strand of NCTM’s standards.
