Have Fun With Math (Camp!)
In this 1 week camp, students will have fun while studying: grids, place value up to the thousands, rounding to the nearest 10, how to read a bar and picture graph, and addition/subtraction within $20.

Lesson 1: Treasure Map (grids) Students will help me create a list of our favorite animals. We will then play a matching game with the listed animals. They will have to help me come up with a way to know what row and column they want me to flip over. We will brainstorm some ideas. I will help them see that using numbers and letters will help us know exactly what card we want to flip. After the matching game, we will locate landmarks on a treasure map using letters and numbers (ex: Volcano Valley in D1). Lesson 2: Place Value and Mystery Number Detective I will draw numbered cards from a bag and we will create a number bit-by-bit, saying the number as we go. (ex: 2...24...246...2,469). We will replace numbers as we go and decide if we made the number bigger or smaller, and by how much. Then we will play a mystery number detective game. The students will help me use clues to figure out our mystery numbers. Lesson 3: Round to the Nearest 10: Animal Storm Students will learn tips and tricks for rounding to the nearest 10 in a 3 digit number. We will spin an online wheel to find out what number we will be rounding. We will also look at a number sidewalk to find out who is walking on the sidewalk, and which way they should run to get out of the storm based on what number square they are standing on. This will help students see 2 different ways they can round to the nearest 10. Lesson 4: How to Read Bar and Picture Graphs Graphs can give us a lot of information! In this class students will look at data through 2 types of graphs: bar and picture. We will look at word problems and plot the data to help visually represent the numbers. The graphs we look at will gradually have more difficult questions. Lesson 5: What Can You Buy? Jeopardy Game A jeopardy money game where students earn money and “buy” a digital prize at the end of class. We will be adding and subtracting numbers up to $20.00. Some problems will require regrouping and borrowing. Students should have something to write with and a piece of paper to work out the problems.
Learning Goals
The goal of this class is for students to see math in a new and fun way. It doesn't have to be boring! We can have fun while learning (or reviewing) math concepts together.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Arizona Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Arizona State University
Hello! My name is Julie and I live in Arizona. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Arizona State University in 2005. I also have a current teaching certificate in the state of Arizona. For the past 3 years I have taught English as a second language.
I love teaching on Outschool. I create and tweak my lessons until they become the kind of classes I would have liked to take as a kid. Currently I teach math and spelling classes. I keep my age ranges within 3 years, and class sizes no higher than 4 students. I feel it’s important to keep class sizes small so each learner receives more opportunities to participate.
Please feel free to message me with any questions. I usually respond the same day.Reviews
