Oh no! Someone ignored the "Take One" sign and broke the Golden Rule of Halloween: they emptied the entire candy bowl! Luckily, there were witnesses to the crime! Unfortunately, there are several suspects that fit the description of the Halloween criminal. Work together to find clues and solve the mystery! As learners interview each suspect, they will be challenged with math and logic puzzles that will lead them to clues. Once they've solved all of the math mysteries, they'll use the clues to determine who committed the crime! Learners should be familiar with math concepts such as: addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Learners will be provided with support from peers or the teacher as needed; this is a friendly, supportive game for learners of all skill levels. Each suspect will be "interviewed" with a math puzzle. When they find the answer, learners will be given a "statement" from the suspect. After all of the suspects have been interviewed, learners will have to read each statement and apply logical thinking to eliminate innocent trick or treaters and find the guilty one! This class will be most fun with at least two learners. If there is only one student enrolled, parents may be asked to choose one of the following options: 1). if their learner would prefer being alone or with other students 2). if they would like to be transferred to a section with more students, or 3). withdraw/be refunded and enroll next time a section is offered.

I'm an accountant with a teaching background who enjoys learning and strives to foster a love of learning in students through games and interactive learning. I believe students learn best when they are having fun and interacting with the material.
I have always had a passion for learning and have diverse interests. I'm especially passionate about building strong foundations in language and math. I believe confidence in these two areas will give students the tools to learn almost anything they'd like to in life.
As an accountant, I have expertise in mathematics and finance. I'm an Enrolled Agent and believe everyone should be proficient in budgeting and personal finance. I believe a strong foundation in math is important to develop advanced skills with numbers later in life. Likewise, strong grammar and language skills will help students communicate effectively and give them the tools to learn anything they'd like to. I'm also passionate about culture and language and have formally studied nine languages, including studying abroad. I want to share the world with students through language and exploration.
I hope to share my love of learning with each of my students as they explore their personal interests. In doing so, students will become lifelong learners and continue to grow in and out of the classroom.Reviews
