The sidewalk is the main hub for pedestrians as they move through their neighborhood. So, why not reinvent those everyday spaces into opportunities for early math learning? Each of our sidewalk installation locations were chosen by community members and were identified as places in the community where high levels of existing pedestrian activity already occurs.
To maximize visibility, usage, and accessibility, bright signage with prompting caregiver-child questions was set adjacent to the installations seemingly creating a “play trail” along the sidewalk.
Bonus Activity: accessible on the signage via a QR code are helpful animated videos that show caregivers how to engage with each of the activities.
