Feeding hundreds of zoo animals isn't just scooping food. At the Toledo Zoo, zookeepers use math daily, measuring fish and fruit to keep animals happy and healthy. #ZooAnimals #MathInAction #ToledoZoo #AnimalCare

Have you ever wondered what it takes to feed hundreds of animals at the zoo? It’s not just about scooping out food—it’s all about math! In this episode of How It’s Math, we go behind the scenes at the Toledo Zoo to discover how zookeepers use math every single day to keep animals healthy, happy, and well-fed. Join Carmen Volante, a Commissary Steward at the Toledo Zoo, as she explains how math is a key ingredient in planning, prepping, and delivering specialized meals to animals—from tiny birds to massive gorillas. Learn how measuring, weighing, multiplying, dividing, and adjusting food portions all come together to make animal nutrition both precise and life-saving. Whether it’s calculating how many green peppers to order or adjusting diets for baby animals, this video shows students how real-world math keeps a zoo running smoothly. Topics Covered: How zoos plan and prep animal diets The role of math in feeding animals Using measuring cups, scales, and weight conversions Adjusting food portions based on weight, age, and health Real-world multiplication and division problems The importance of precision in animal care Behind-the-scenes look at zookeeping careers Common Core Standards Covered: Grades 3–5: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.A.3 – Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.MD.A.1 – Solve problems involving measurement and conversions of measurements. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NBT.B.5 – Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number.

Did you know Indigenous people in Ohio used advanced geometry and measurement over 2,000 years ago? The Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are made up of massive circles, squares, and octagons that are mathematically precise—and even align with the sun and moon’s cycles! In this segment of How It’s Math, join Caroline and the Math Chicken as we explore the hidden math inside these giant earthworks with archaeologist Brad Lepper. From calculating area and perimeter to understanding symmetry and parallel lines, this episode connects geometry concepts you learn in school to one of the most fascinating civilizations in history. Perfect for upper elementary classrooms (grades 3–5), this video helps students see math not just as numbers on a page, but as a tool for design, science, and culture. Common Core Alignment: Grade 4 – Numbers & Operations (4.NBT.B.4): Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm Grade 5 – Measurement & Data (5.MD.C.5): Connect measurement concepts to solve real-world problems involving area and volume. Enrichment Connection – Grade 7 Geometry (7.G.B.4): Understand and use formulas for circumference and area of a circle (introduced conceptually here to build early awareness). Let's be Friends!

Did you know math is hiding in flowers, gardens, and even butterflies? In this episode of How It’s Math, Caroline and her Math Chicken head to the Franklin Park Conservatory to uncover how math shapes the natural world. From calculating area in flowerbeds to exploring symmetry in butterfly wings, students will see how math makes nature beautiful and organized. Common Core Alignment: Grade 4- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.G.A.3: Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry. Perfect for upper elementary classrooms, teachers, and families looking to connect math to the real world! Let's be Friends!

Clocks and time are everywhere—but how do you figure out how much time has passed? In this fun and easy-to-follow lesson, Caroline breaks down elapsed time with real-world examples like dance class, dentist appointments, lunch, flights, and more. Students will learn multiple strategies to calculate elapsed time, including: - Using number lines to add hours and minutes - Using an analog clock step by step - Solving with T-charts to organize thinking By the end of this video, kids will feel confident solving elapsed time problems and ready to apply their skills to everyday situations! Perfect for 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade math, this lesson is also great for teachers looking for warm-ups, parents helping with homework, and anyone who wants to make math fun and practical. Common Core Alignment: Grade 3 - CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.MD.A.1 Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a number line diagram. Grade 4 - CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.MD.A.2 Use the four operations to solve word problems involving intervals of time, including problems represented with diagrams (number lines, T-charts, etc.).
