Who wants to sit in desks all the time to learn something? Learning can come in many forms and can take place everywhere. Students want teachers to take advantage of these outside learning places so that they can learn better.
In math, I’m always thinking about ways to connect the in class lectures to things outside of the school. It helps me remember and it’s nice to know I’m not the only one. Even if it is just measuring the perimeter of a building, students like being able to apply their knowledge and I hope that I can do that for my students.
