Get the Math


Get the Math is a great website that teachers and students can use to solve Algebra-based mathematics challenges. These challenges come in the form of "real world" scenarios such as music production, video game design, and fashion design.

Short videos of professionals explain and show how math is used in their profession. Students watch the videos and then try to complete a series of challenges based on the work these professionals do everyday. One example is after watching the Math in Fashion video, a challenge is for students to create a shirt that meets a specific price point.

Check out this video of Get the Math in action in a classroom.

Watch Get the Math: An Intro on PBS. See more from THIRTEEN Kids.
