Class Experience

Geometry is best learned with your hands.  Students in this class  will use toothpicks and gumdrops to construct various two and three-dimensional  shapes.  Students will learn vocabulary, and how to build, name, and classify two and three dimensional shapes.  

No prerequisite skills or knowledge is needed for this class.

Other Details

Supply List
Students need toothpicks and gumdrops to build shapes in class.  I like to use "Dots" as they are not as messy as the sugar-coated gumdrops.  But, student can also use marshmallows, fruit snacks, jelly beans, clay, or play-dough instead of gumdrops.  

A notes and record sheet will be provided to student to print.  After class, I will send you a file to extend the learning.
 1 file available upon enrollment
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Michigan Teaching Certificate in Mathematics
I began teaching in 1978 by forcing my little brothers to "play school" during summer breaks. I began my paid teaching career in 1991 by teaching at a public high school in Michigan. In my over 30 years of experience teaching, I have also taught at a community college, homeschool co-ops, an alternative school, and a virtual online school.  I retired from teaching high school math at a public high school in 2018. Now, I enjoy being home to homeschool my son, play with my grandchildren, and teach students online from all over the world.

I graduated from Western Michigan University in 1992 with a degree in Mathematics, History, and Education. In 2005, I earned a Master's Degree in the Art of Teaching from Marygrove College in Detroit. I am certified to teach mathematics in the state of Michigan.

I believe that students learn by DOING! My class is a safe place to try, make mistakes, and try again. My classes I incorporate plenty opportunity for practice, and I provide meaningful individualized feedback for students. During class I encourage active participation from each student, and provide ways for shy students to participate in ways that make them feel comfortable. I will work with your student to help them be successful in math.

Please message me if I can help you meet your math educational goals.
