Abstract
The purpose of this project was to create a research-informed, responsive resource to help parents of Kindergarten to Grade 6 children incorporate mathematics learning into everyday family life. In Ontario, several publicly available resources discuss the important role parents play in their children’s mathematics education, and the value of mathematical discussions and activities in everyday family experiences. While the recommendation for family mathematics learning is common and widespread, a document analysis completed for this project indicated a lack of concrete examples of what these activities and learning opportunities might look like. The Math Around Us is a book containing over 100 prompts and activities which incorporate mathematics learning into the places and spaces families frequent. Organized alphabetically by 18 unique locations, activities are explained in straightforward language, require few or no materials, and minimal or no preparation. This resource may be a valuable tool for parents interested in fun and informal ways to bring mathematical learning opportunities for their children into the home and world around them.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
