Recently young students in Northern New Mexico had the opportunity to build their math skills by exploring spatial and geometric concepts as they experimented with different reflective surfaces.

They also tested the symmetry of various photos, printed letters and numbers; created symmetrical artwork and music patterns; and used a variety of wacky objects to measure their height.

Thanks to support from United Way of Northern New Mexico, Explora was able to partner with El Rito Elementary, Hernandez Elementary, and Abiquiu Elementary create environments that support young children’s practice of identifying, understanding, and applying mathematical ideas.

Every student then went home with a kit of familiar and novel materials, a book, and three activity cards on how to use the materials to explore math concepts in a fun, engaging way that connects to common experiences.

Explora and Central New Mexico Community College held a press conference earlier this week for Brillante Early Learning Center. Use the link in bio to read about the partnership!
