Class Experience

We will go over a mixture of problems from grades 3 and 4.

The problems will range from puzzles like:
figuring out the unknown values and solving word problems
to core concepts covered in our Singapore Math Methods classes.

Topic 1: The Floor is Lava  - puzzle escape room
Topic 2: Dragon's Lair Pizza  - find the unknowns in the puzzles to make the right pizzas for your clients
Topic 3: Amazing Mountain Adventure - use your math skills to get through the jungle and climb to the highest peak!
Topic 4: Escape the Island - use your math skills to escape!
Topic 5: Dragon's Lair Pizza  - find the unknowns in the puzzles to make the right pizzas for your clients

It will be an adventure!  Students will answer questions as a group using private chat and help each other solve the math problems and puzzles to make new discoveries get past the ogre, figure out the perfect pizza, and see new places!  They can even escape from the lava!  While accompanied by their trusty cats!

We teach by letting students look at the questions, take a moment to work them out, discuss how they solved them, and talk about the right answers if they get stuck.

We design and provide all materials to enhance the teaching instruction.

Students get to interact with each other and with the teacher.

If they are at the end of 3rd/4th grade they will be even better prepared for this class. If they are not, and enjoy learning from what others are sharing and trying new problems - then this is the class for them!
