Chapter 13: Outdoor Adventure

In this section of the book, the author suggests taking students on an overnight camping trip. To me, this seems rather risky. I understand the idea of making students work as a community and accomplish real life situations. Ideally this would be quite an experience. I especially liked the section about how math relates to a camping trip. All of the author's suggestions could deeply relate to the naturalist intelligence which would make math creative. Actions such as determining average width, rate flow, and depth of a creek include concepts such as math, art, hiking, measuring, ratios, and geometry. Then maybe students can stop saying the infamous phrase "What will we need this for?" when talking about math.
