Math was implemented, notas rote memory and use/re-use of given formulas, but as a form of project-based learning; as thelanguage of science, technology, and engineering; and, as a place of critical thinking anddiscovery [8].Because the theme of the camp was sustainability, the authors titled the first math activity “TrashMath.” To begin the activity, seven participants and six instructors formed three groups of fourto five individuals and collected roadside trash at three sites near the TMCC campus.
