Stolen Paintings and Real Life Maths


Last week was a hunting week…

My daughters and I watched as the FBI tried to hunt down a number of stolen masterpieces. And then I went on a hunt for some real life maths experiences. (Where’s all that maths everyone says the world is full of?)

Did the FBI recover the paintings? Were the criminals apprehended? And did I find some maths notes to add to my rather empty looking homeschool records book?

All will be revealed in this week’s podcast!

In episode 49:

  • I talk about the educational value of documentaries and lifestyle TV programs
  • I share some of the Youtube videos we’ve been enjoying
  • I describe how I translate these videos into notes for my homeschool records book
  • I tell you about the real life maths experiences I did eventually hunt down
  • Along the way, I share lots of resources!
