Welcome to Blast off With Probability! In this one-time class we will explore the concept of probability starting with an exploratory game. The game will allow us to experience probability, problem solve in real-time to develop strategy, and apply our game play to mathematical reasoning. I find that anytime a game can introduce of reinforce a math concept, learners are far more likely to immerse themselves in the process of learning. After our game provides us with enough data, we will learn applicable probability vocabulary so that we can all discuss the outcomes using common language. The last portion of the class will focus on creating fractions and percentages to represent our data! No prior experience or knowledge needed! As a matter of fact, this particular class is best for learners who are being exposed to the concept of probability for the very first time!
Learning Goals
Students will walk away from this session with an understanding probability.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, Families and Learners! I am excited to plan a full range of classes for all ages of learners! I am able to teach classes all the way from phonics to Algebra! Some of my favorite interests are strange history, fantasy fiction, and anything science and math related. In addition to STEM topics, I really love the written language and look forward to developing writing classes!
I am a veteran teacher of 14 years. I have taught 5/6th grade, with the latter half of my career focusing on math at the middle school level. Due to our current climate, I am taking some time away from the traditional classroom to homeschool my little ones while taking the opportunity to teach some of my favorite subjects!
When you have a passion and enjoy working with kids, it shines through, even on a computer screen. Providing a welcoming environment that encourages engagement is what I am all about! I want students to feel empowered and confident when they walk away from time with me, regardless of what topic we are exploring together!
I am the mother of two young sons. While the pandemic has not been easy on anyone, my family has really tried to make as much 'lemonade' as possible. I learned to crochet and teach a 4 year old to read!Reviews
