The purpose of this activity is for students to answer mathematical questions about their school community (MP4). Students work with a partner to choose a question to answer. Students work together to develop a plan for how they will answer the question and what, if any, math tools they will need. Then students have time to work together to answer the question. Students will need an opportunity to go out into the school to answer many of the questions. If necessary, this activity can be adjusted to be completed in one room or one area of the school. If time allows, students can pick multiple questions to answer.
Action and Expression: Internalize Executive Functions. Invite students to plan a strategy, including what they will use to show their thinking (drawings, numbers, or words). Students take turns verbally sharing their plan with their partner and work together to answer their question.
