Building positive math experiences outside of school.

About Math Anywhere
Established in 2017 with initial grant funding through WA STEM network, Math Anywhere! is a community-based project in Vancouver, Washington which aims to build positive math experiences outside of school.
We think:
- math can be playful
- interesting math-y ideas to explore exist all around us, wherever we go
- anytime is a good time to chat about math
- everyone has important math thinking to share
We have been working to create place-based media and visiting with children and their grown-ups in different community spaces to share our ideas. You can explore some of the prompts we have created at www.mathanywhere.org. We hope these will broaden how you think about math and inspire you to play with math in the places you visit everyday.

If you are in or around our community contact molly.daley@esd112.org! We are always seeking new partners and collaborations.
