These supplementary projects, field tested in real classrooms, extend the math students are learning. Some incorporate history, art, science, and\/or nature. Others take up an issue in the community or a matter of social justice. All are intended to spark joy in doing mathematics, and to help students see themselves and others in the mathematics they are doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
