24 Game is simple in its rules, but that doesn’t make it easy to win.  Students must use the 4 numbers on the 24 card, along with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and/or division, to come up with a solution of 24 as quickly as they can.  This game allows students to practice their basic math facts without it seeming like a chore.  With three levels of difficulty, there are cards to challenge even the most proficient human computer. 

Join this class to learn how to play the game and to have some competitive math fun!  

After taking this class and learning the game, students can join one of two ongoing classes to continue playing the game with their peers.
-24 Game: Brain Training Club is a great next step to learn strategies for solving the cards and to play the game in a social atmosphere.  Multiple solutions for cards are explored and no score is kept. https://outschool.com/classes/24-game-brain-training-club-wSCRTosz?usid=leZst57C&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link
-24 Club is a class where students play the game using tournament rules and keep score.  It is a great class to join once students have practiced the game and feel ready to compete against some peers.  Friendly competition keeps students on their toes and challenges them to be their best. https://outschool.com/classes/24-club-mastering-basic-math-facts-through-friendly-competition-xx68ZQq5?sectionUid=b1c92f1c-76d4-4702-8238-973a8ad398a8&usid=leZst57C&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

Maryland Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education

Eighteen years as a public school teacher in Maryland and two years as an Outschool teacher have provided me the opportunity to teach learners from diverse backgrounds with a variety of learning styles.  I began my teaching career in elementary school, teaching all subjects and earning my Masters of Education with a certificate in Gifted Education from Johns Hopkins University.  Later, I added both Middle School Math: 6-9 and ESOL Pre-K-12 certifications to my professional certificate.  Most recently, I taught middle school math, working with both accelerated students and those with Special Education needs.  Because of my varied experiences, I have many strategies to help all kinds of learners.

Math is my passion because while there may only be one correct answer, there are often many different ways to solve the same problem.  Exploring those different ways and finding a method of solving with which each learner feels most confident is what I love to do.  I like to incorporate hands-on strategies, games, and interactive activities into my lessons to make math less scary for reluctant mathematicians and more engaging for everyone.

When I’m not thinking about math, I enjoy baking, cake decorating, drawing, working in my vegetable garden, and sewing.  In my spare time, I can be found hiking, kayaking, bird watching, doing a puzzle, or assembling furniture.  I look forward to meeting your learner!
