Exploding Dot Explorers:

     The Global Math Project team offers heartfelt wishes for ease and well-being for you and your loved ones during this difficult time. Maintaining health and well-being, and curbing the spread of the virus, we know, has not just a physical toll, but psychological and financial tolls as well. 

     As schools and universities close across the globe, we have received requests to offer some specific guidance on helping students and parents conduct coherent, self-guided Exploding Dots experiences at home. In case it is of interest to you, James has prepared such a document.  You can read it and download it G’Day Math.

     Be safe. Our best wishes. – The GMP team.
