Math Around the World: Kick-Off & Strategy Share
Students introduce themselves and share one math problem-solving strategy they use at home or in class. Partner classes exchange short video introductions or written descriptions to build familiarity and curiosity about different approaches.
Explore & Document Local Problem-Solving Methods
Students work in small groups to solve 3-4 basic math problems (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division appropriate to their age) using their own strategies, then document and illustrate each method step-by-step on large poster sheets or digital slides.
Exchange & Analyze Partner Class Methods
Students receive the partner class's documented strategies, study them carefully, and identify similarities, differences, and unique cultural or contextual influences on how problems are solved. They create a comparison chart or concept map showing the range of approaches.
Peer Feedback & Reflection on Strategies
Partner classes exchange feedback on each other's galleries using a simple feedback form, highlighting which strategies were clearest, most creative, or most surprising. Students then reflect individually on what they learned about different problem-solving approaches and how it changed their confidence in math.
Showcase & Celebrate Mathematical Diversity
Each class presents their final gallery to the school community (or virtually to the partner class) and reflects on how seeing multiple ways to solve the same problem helps them feel more confident and creative in math. Students share one 'aha moment' they had during the project.
