Math and Science: The Great Space Race!
In this one time class, students will use a 10-frame and a number line to solve addition problems (up to 10). We will race around a board game by solving math equations while simultaneously taking an adventure straight to outer space to learn about our solar system!

US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - Kindergarten
We will blast off on a great space race and use our addition skills to progress through the board game! We will use 3 different math strategies to solve addition problems equal to 10. We will solve basic math equations to move our rocket through space! We will learn an interesting fact about each planet as we progress. In this one-time class, students will learn how to add single digit numbers (up to 10) by using various math strategies. We will use manipulatives, ten frames, and mental math to solve basic math equations. The class is highly interactive, educational, and fun! Students will be actively involved in their learning as they engage in hands-on activities using a counting mat, pre-cut numbered planets, and objects (dime sized play dough balls, pennies, marshmallows, counters, or cubes). Each student will be given the chance to share their favorite planet and any interesting space facts they might already know! ***************************************** Next class suggestion: Math and Science: The Amazing Animal Adventure! https://outschool.com/classes/math-and-science-the-amazing-animal-adventure-gasqAKEz#usVOYEvEe9 ***************************************** *Do you have a group of kiddos that would like to take this class together (minimum 6)? I would be more than happy to accommodate you! Please message regarding dates, times, and prices.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
Parents can assist with cutting the planets and gathering the 10 manipulatives/objects before class! Also, since this class is intended for young learners, it is recommended that the parent sits nearby and/or teach your child to push the UNMUTE/MUTE button. This will cut down on any unwanted background noise.
Supply List
-A printable handout for students will be provided 24 hrs. prior to class. This will include the counting mat, numbered planets and counters. This handout will have pieces that need to be cut out PRIOR to class. -Students will need a total of 10 dime sized manipulatives/objects (Example: 10 pennies, 10 marshmallows,10 counters or cubes) that can be used as an alternative to the counters attached to the handout.
