In this one-time class, learners will be practicing 2nd-grade math skills by solving fun Halloween-themed word problems! This class focuses on real-life applications. Learners will be asked to solve word problems such as:
1. Reading a map and choosing which route to take for more candy. Learners will have to add up the totals of candy among the route to see which number is greater. 
2. Adding candy amounts together
3. Rows and columns of a pumpkin patch
4. Money math to "buy" Halloween costumes
5. Calculating time left to trick-or-treat or the length of a Halloween party
6. Using several math skills to go "shopping" for candy and Halloween decor
....and more!

At the beginning of class, the students and teacher will have a discussion about the topic(s) of the week so the teacher can assess the students’ prior knowledge of the subject. 

Throughout the class, the teacher will introduce and teach the topic(s) using the “I Do, We Do, You Do” method. This instructional method starts with the teacher giving an example, followed by the teacher and student solving a problem or completing a task together, then finally, the student is given a problem or task to complete on his/her own, with support given as necessary. All classes will include review/instruction, practice, and application problems (word problems). 

Throughout the entire class, many discussion questions will be asked in order to promote critical thinking, help the students to relate to the lesson, and introduce each topic within the lesson.

This class is best for any student ages 6 to 9, or 2nd to 3rd grade. Students do not need to know the concepts or topics of the class beforehand. We will learn and review in class. 

The class materials will be presented via Google Slides and screen shared on the teacher's screen only. Learners will need nothing outside of the Outschool Zoom classroom.
