Lau I think ( I do hope I'm right) you may have meant to reply list, so returning + list.

I would take advantage of the easy interface with midi and audio.
I would start with adc and dac and let them play with the feedback
Then with some headphones let them play with stereo : one sings to a mic, the other sends data to one or other channel and a third one listens to the headphones
Plug a Vslider to an osc and phasor so they can make it whisle
Use fiddle and send the note to a midiout
If you have a midi interface the thing can get funnier !
Oh yes, now I remember, a lot of fun we had with USB toys, joysticks, steering wheels etc. Und of course now you have Wii controllers.
Man, I wish we did maths that way when I was a kid!

Seems like a great opportunity for lots of fun Kyle.
I suppose you might start with simple linear data flows in the message domain. Examples like
Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius Convert Dollars to Euros
Then plot them into graphs
Up to then you can avoid triggers/ eval orders - once you have covered triggers you can do
Find the average of N numbers Vector magnitude sqrt(x*x + y*y*)
If you hide the innards of GEM and just call it a 'graphics output routine' you could do equations of circle etc.
The beetle race and roulette wheel (on my site) were popular and generated lots of discussion.
One example I thought would be easy actually turned out quite hard in Pd - a desktop calculator (definitely an advanced topic)

Hello Listers~
I'm teaching a 1 month Summer school session for K-8 grade students and would like to include Pd for a mathematics learning tool. I am wondering
if
anyone else has done something similar, or has any links to DSP/math
related
materials that would be suitable for this age group. Also, if anyone is sharing their lesson plans for Pd beginners, I would love to see
something
that I might be able to adapt for my students.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, as kids often hate Summer school
and
I want to make this a fun activity for them.
