Wild About Math: 3rd Grade Math
4 math lessons for active learners who love the great outdoors and nature based, hands-on activities.
Course Summary
'Wild about Math' takes learning outdoors where it is naturally hands-on, engages all of the senses, and includes plenty of movement. The natural environment makes concepts concrete and increases children's attention spans. These fun and engaging lessons explore math principles found in the natural world. We use plants, animal life, and natural materials to model concepts and facts. Join along in the adventure and games, that will create a fresh excitement and interest in finding math to be fun and practical. Concepts covered in the fall session are: Skip Counting, Place Value, Multi-digit Addition and Multiplication 1-12.
Does your child struggle to stay engaged during traditional math lessons? Many homeschool parents face the challenge of keeping active learners focused—especially those kids who would rather explore the outdoors than sit at a desk with a workbook.
When math feels boring, it can turn into a battle—leaving both parent and child frustrated. You may even worry your child will fall behind or start to dislike learning altogether. If your child is full of energy, hands-on, and curious about the natural world, worksheets alone just don’t cut it.
That’s where Wild About Math comes in! This 4-lesson, self-paced course is designed specifically for outdoor-loving, active learners. Each lesson weaves math concepts into fun, nature-based, hands-on activities that bring numbers to life. Instead of sitting still, your child will be exploring, building, and experimenting—all while mastering essential 3rd grade math skills.
Your child will:
Strengthen problem-solving skills through engaging, real-world math activities.

Stay motivated and excited with movement-based learning designed for wiggly kids.
Build confidence as they discover that math isn’t just in a workbook—it’s all around them!

Stacy Forestieri
I am a homeschool mom of 3 adventurous young boys. We enjoy the great outdoors and living for Jesus. You will most often find us wandering the nearby river trail, or hiking to local waterfalls, searching for creatures and other wonders of creation. We reside in a small town in southern Ontario, Canada, along with our 3 ducks, 2 bunnies and 4 silkie chickens (who sometimes make live appearances in my classes). We love taking learning outdoors, or at least bringing natural elements into practical hands-on learning.
With our name Forestieri, we launched Forest Kids, which offers nature-based programs, events and resources for kids and their families. Through that I teach preschool in my home daycare and early elementary ages in my nature clubs and family events. At my church I helped develop and teach their video courses which are used in the classroom and online.
I have held business and admin positions in both the corporate and ministry environments. I have led mission teams to several countries including Panama, Guyana and Costa Rica. One of my dream jobs was serving as a regional manager for an international ministry that shared the love of Jesus with children around the world. Currently my main ministry is home with my family, but my heart to share the love and light of Jesus in everything I do.
