Math Explorers

Math Explorers is an adventure club for math loving five and six year olds. Each week we will visit a biome (such as tundra, coral reef, kelp forest, tropical rainforest, etc). While we explore the biome we will practice using math and our creativity. 

We will focus on early math concepts and skills such as:
- Adding
- Subtracting 
- Skip counting
- Odd and evens
- Greater than/less than
- Shapes
- Matching
- Measuring lengths

This is a highly interactive class. Students will learn through a mix of hands-on activities, discussion, and visual presentation. 

Lesson structure:

Introductions		
	Learners will be asked to introduce themselves and share something about themselves with the group. 

Biome Clues 		
	Each week we will explore a different biome. Learners will get to guess what the day’s biome will be based on provided clues. 

Map Time		
	We will open a presentation showing where in the world the day’s biome is located and then learn about the animals and plants that live there. 

Math Concept 	
	We will introduce the day’s math concept. 

Activity		
	Learners will have an activity in which they can practice the day’s math concept themed around the day’s biome. Students will get to draw or create something which they will be able to share in the next section. 

Sharing 	
	We will take turns sharing with each other what we created during the activity time. 

Goodbyes

Optional extra videos and PDF worksheets are posted in the classroom between live sessions.
