Australian Math in Nature: Area & Perimeter

$8.00

Surprise yourself by delighting in math with this desert inspired guide that explores arrays while investigating Indigenous Gunyah camps and area at Kati Thanda – Lake Eyre. Define perimeter at the Dingo Fence and compare Australia’s largest cattle stations. Did you know that one cattle station in the Outback is larger than the country of Israel? Learn new math symbols like the square root and how it’s applied to area.

Examine Indigenous art symbols and create a geometrical piece of art. Investigate the surface area of polygons while examining the geometric shapes of crystals. Design a desert zoo on grid paper then create a zoo outdoors. Glance at unit conversion and prefixes in measurement words. Once this unit is complete, sit the children down with their last activity, then make yourself a cuppa and ponder on mathematical thinking with an inspiring video just for you.

Come along! We dare you to love math!

Hey Explorer

We have outdoor expeditions to undertake and adventures to embark upon. We’ll explore the outdoors together, side by side, and uncover miraculous mysteries, and secrets. We’ll wander, and wonder in amazement as we become familiar with the Australian fauna and flora.

I desire to come alongside you in the muddle, making nature study the joy it’s meant to be.  Outdoor adventures will become a regular part of your life as you make connections to the natural world with a sense of awe.

I looked high and low online for an Australian nature based curriculum and when I found Australian Nature study Guide on Instagram I was so excited to have finally found something that my family can relate to. My favourite thing about this guide is that Marie is so hands on and involved with her customers. I have never felt alone in the journey, she is there to guide and encourage us every step of the way in the Facebook group. Thanks Marie for welcoming us to your nature study family 🙂

We have really enjoyed the program this term. We have gotten outside more often and the children are definitely taking more notice of things when we are out. Having a place to share what we have done and seen has been an encouragement to keep it up. I sometimes felt like we could spend longer on some topics as they were so interesting but that is probably just my obsessive "we must cover everything now" problem.

We didn’t find out about the program until about half way through term, so we played catch up most of the time. I love how open ended the lessons are, but with enough structure to work well for those children needing such a program. We have been able to cover much of the required curriculum whilst enjoying the activities we love. Your program has been such a blessing to us, because we needed a change to our homeschooling lessons which would still cover curriculum, but would enable us to relax and enjoy “school” together. Thank you.

We began our homeschool journey this year keen to explore all that nature study entails. I had searched the web for weeks to research what we would use as our framework. I cannot describe the elation I felt when I came across an AUSTRALIAN nature study guide! Marie has done all the hard work and put together a wonderfully elaborate resource for all ages. You can dip your toe in or dive right into all the ideas and links. There’s so much here we could spend all week doing nature study, and often we do.
