A photo of a sidewalk with two circles. Each circle has six smaller circles inside, colored (clockwise from 3 o’clock) blue, purple, teal, red, pink, yellow. In the center of each circle is a pair of bare footprints. Between the two larger circles are the words “mirror me”
This is lovely.

throwback article written by a high school student (who is now done w college!) about #SidewalkMath:

This week’s #SummerOfSTEM challenge, inspired by a STEAMnasium fave: Sidewalk Math! 🧠
Turn your driveway into a math playground with number lines, patterns, or hopscotch equations.
Tag us with your chalk creations!
#MSTatTC #STEAMnasium #SidewalkMath
Sidewalk math "How Many" with 4 purple circles, (one shaded), 3 yellow (one shaded), and 2 brown circles (both shaded).
Leaving some #sidewalkmath #publicmath today after playground time! #iteachmath #icoachmathed
Now generously summarized by my colleague! Another #MathsToday exploration of #SidewalkMath:

more examples of #SidewalkMath from today
post rain (still drizzling ☔) but the chalk looks good on the pavement!
images are of various problems such as sequences, which one doesn't belong, and how many (triangles)

photos of #SidewalkMath
all four photos of various chalked arithmetic and patterning next to the Alice in Wonderland pond in Central Park
each student came prepared w 1 or 2 items to sketch for our #MathsToday ♾️
back tomorrow, weather permitting!
thanks for the shout-out! once the weather in NYC warms up a bit we should be back in Central Park for some more #SidewalkMath.
All credit to Brian Palacios for bringing this movement to my attention (and to Henry Pollak et al around Math Trails!).
come from some higher authority, eg textbooks, teachers, or pre-written curricula. #SidewalkMath is an opportunity not only for students to learn more mathematics, but also to feel a sense of ownership over the mathematical ideas that they are generating as a part of this process.” /2
sidewalk math: the equations from the parent tweet are included, along with the questions: What do you notice? What do you wonder? the parent tweet's three equations are: 1+2 = 3 4+5+6 = 7+8 9+10+11+12 = 13+14+15
