Students are presented with a problem when their safari jeep breaks down. They must solve double-digit addition and subtraction word problems to get the clues needed in order to escape. Each word problem includes a fact about that animal and we will end the class with more facts so that students will walk away learning about African animals while practicing essential math skills. Students should already be familiar with regrouping between the ones and tens place when adding or subtracting in order to take this class. This class is meant to be used for practice and not as an introduction to double-digit addition and subtraction. Please make sure students have paper and pencil to work out the math problems and to write down the clues needed to escape at the end. I look forward to seeing your student on the next safari!

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a compassionate, hands-on teacher that has spent the last 16 wonderful years teaching all the core subjects in a public school setting. My expertise is in math, science, and language arts for 2nd-5th grade. I had the privilege of working as a reading intervention specialist for PreK-5th grade students where I diagnosed reading difficulties and instructed students in small groups to master skills. In addition to teaching elementary-age students, I am certified in College Counseling, where I hope to use my knowledge to help students of all ages love learning and see their dreams become a reality.
I believe learning should be fun and engaging. I teach with a hands-on approach so that students stay engaged through creative activities and games. I believe every child can learn and it is my job to find out the best way to teach them.
I have a passion for animals and my favorite adventures always involve an animal encounter. Some of my favorite animal adventures have been with sloths, dolphins, and spider monkeys. I can't wait for you to join one of my classes! Reviews
