Typeform

Digital Meets Physical Exploration

You have 20 minutes to explore the activities around the room. There is a series of Math activities, a series of Science activities and then a few other examples. Please actually try out the activities as if you were the students. How could the learning opportunity be extended and/or deepened through technology? Share your thoughts with the people around you as you explore.

Make & Do: Math Samples
