Our "Math Investigations" program has us doing all sorts of hands-on activities, to make numbers "real"...
We even used cubes to see which container held the most...
We survey each other and show our results...
We learn that numbers can make patterns...
...and that shapes have math in them...
We measure with rulers and tapes.

Who says math can't be fun and games?
