While out for a walk in my neighbourhood last night, I commented on how nice it was to see so many houses displaying our Canada flag. It reminded me of when my children were young and we would turn a walk around the block into a math moment by counting how many houses had…pumpkins in the fall, Christmas lights in December, bird feeders in the summer etc. My son began taking along a clipboard and tallying how many ____ he saw (something new he had learned how to do). Why not take the opportunity to recognize that Math is Everywhere and count the flags with your children on your next walking expedition!
