“… as a math teacher and art lover, I find these boxes to be the perfect fit in showing the connections between the two areas. I searched (for weeks!) for something that would inspire my own lesson plans and this does exactly that. Thank you for the thought put into designing these activities…”

Beautiful Discovery box has real specimens, hand-crafted models and coded models of a new nature pattern each month (see slider below). Example: floral spiral specimens, painted spirals, coded spirals in: Scratch, NetLogo and Python.
“So cool! I love the Beautiful Discovery boxes. My middle and high school children have loved exploring each box …
As an elementary teacher, I have loved having ideas to use in my classroom to entice those who feel they aren’t “good” at math find mathematical access, relevance, or just plain fun. Thank you for perfectly themed and curated boxes!”
