***Students should already know how to play 24 Game to join this club. If your child would like to learn the game, check out my Introduction to 24 Game class!***

24 Game is simple in its rules, but that doesn’t make it easy to win.  Students must use the 4 numbers on the 24 card, along with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and/or division, to come up with a solution of 24 as quickly as they can.  This game allows students to practice their basic math facts without it seeming like a chore.  With three levels of difficulty, there are cards to challenge even the most proficient human computer. 

This ongoing class is for students who already know how to play 24 Game and want to practice in a cooperative atmosphere with their peers.  In each class, students will review a strategy of the game and then solve cards of different difficulties.  Instead of playing tournament rules like in 24 Club, this class provides support for students to help them become more confident with the game.  Hints will be given if needed and students will be able to offer different solutions for cards.

If your child is looking for more competitive play, check out my 24 Club class listing.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Maryland Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Eighteen years as a public school teacher in Maryland and two years as an Outschool teacher have provided me the opportunity to teach learners from diverse backgrounds with a variety of learning styles.  I began my teaching career in elementary school, teaching all subjects and earning my Masters of Education with a certificate in Gifted Education from Johns Hopkins University.  Later, I added both Middle School Math: 6-9 and ESOL Pre-K-12 certifications to my professional certificate.  Most recently, I taught middle school math, working with both accelerated students and those with Special Education needs.  Because of my varied experiences, I have many strategies to help all kinds of learners.

Math is my passion because while there may only be one correct answer, there are often many different ways to solve the same problem.  Exploring those different ways and finding a method of solving with which each learner feels most confident is what I love to do.  I like to incorporate hands-on strategies, games, and interactive activities into my lessons to make math less scary for reluctant mathematicians and more engaging for everyone.

When I’m not thinking about math, I enjoy baking, cake decorating, drawing, working in my vegetable garden, and sewing.  In my spare time, I can be found hiking, kayaking, bird watching, doing a puzzle, or assembling furniture.  I look forward to meeting your learner!
