Explore Math Through Culture!This cross-cultural math project invites students to investigate mathematical ideas, systems, and artifacts from cultures around the world—ancient or modern. Students choose a culture (e.g., China, India, Aztecs, Mali, Polynesia) and create a creative project based on their mathematical contributions. Includes student instructions, sample topics, and a grading rubric. Great for upper middle school and high school end of the year project!

Created by
Allison Smith
Engineer a festive cantilever that reaches the farthest overhang beyond the table edge—using only candy canes and limited tape! Students plan, build, test, and iterate while applying torque and center of mass ideas. Perfect for a high-engagement holiday lab, stations, or a one-period challenge. 🍬🧰 What students do 🧠 Plan & sketch: identify anchor vs. arm, place joints/tape, predict max overhang. 🧪 Test & measure: record trials, overhang (cm), stability (10 s), failure modes. 📈 Analyze
