Class Experience

US Grade 2
Does your learner like to solve fun mysteries? Well, let them put on their detective hat and get to work using their math skills! This Mini Math Mystery is a fun 'game-like' activity to practice and review the math skill, adding 100 to numbers. Learners will follow a simple elimination structure where they will be using the answers to the math questions to eliminate possibilities. 

At the beginning of class, learners will hear a short story to preface the mystery they will be solving for the day. Then, it is time for our math detectives to get to work! Who ate Ginny the Gingerbread Man's gingerbread house? Where are they hiding now and why would they want to do such a thing? Learners will take turns answering problems where they need to add 100 to numbers to help solve the mystery. Then, if we have additional time left, there will also be more math problems to help discover where the culprit is hiding. Learners will first solve the math questions, and then they will look for their answers in the boxes on the screen and eliminate the boxes with a matching answer. After answering all questions, only one box and image will remain (that box will contain a number that didn't match any of the answers to the questions) and that image is the solution to our mystery! At the end of class, learners will get to share their ideas about WHY they think the culprit did what they did. There are no wrong answers to this question. I love for the learners to share their thoughts with everyone!!

Please have your learner bring a pencil and sheet of paper OR a dry erase board and marker to class. There will not be anything to print off for this class. I will have all questions and the elimination process on the shared screen.

I look forward to meeting your learner in class! Now, let's have FUN learning math!! See you in the classroom! :)

Hello, my name is Kristi. I am a married fur-mom to two dogs, Olaf and Olivia. I enjoy reading, being outdoors, learning new things, and going on adventures with my husband! 

I have a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Early Childhood Education. I also have a MBA concentrating in Accounting. Math is a big passion of mine! I am a certified PreK-5 teacher in the state of Georgia. I also hold current Gifted and Talented, Special Education, and TESOL education certifications. I have been teaching in some capacity for 11 years with experience in all elementary grade levels, from pre-K to 5th grade! I taught at a private preschool for 1 year and the rest of my teaching years have been in a public school setting or online. In May of 2019, I began a new endeavor, teaching ESL online to students in China. I absolutely love teaching online and meeting students all the way across the world! As a teacher, I believe it is my responsibility to make learning fun, help and encourage students to be successful in learning, and fostering a love for learning at an early age. In my classroom, you will see plenty of activities for varying learning styles, lots of movement and interactive activities, and learning through play.
 
I am passionate about teaching young children, and I look forward to meeting your learner(s) and helping them develop their young minds! I can't wait to meet you in the classroom!
