  • June 2026 - How are we Sparking Joy in Mathematics

    Welcome, families! As summer approaches, it’s a great time to reflect on how math has come alive in your homes this year. Together, we've explored how math is all around us—in our conversations, in playful moments, and through everyday experiences. Over the year, we’ve uncovered the math in our daily lives by spotting patterns, noticing numbers, estimating size, distance, and quantity, and engaging in hands-on activities that build number sense.

Math Problems

Here is the current math problem of the month as well as the previous month's problem with a solution and extension question.

  • Problem of the Month - June 2026

    Look at the following row of numbers:

    10, 15, 21, 4, 5

    They are arranged so that each pair of adjacent numbers adds up to a square number: 

    10+15=25

     15+21=36

     21+4=25

     4+5=9

    Can you arrange the numbers 1 to 17 in a row in the same way, so that each adjacent pair adds up to a square number?
