In this one week, 3 session Winter Math intensive camp, learners will gain an understanding of multiplication and division, the relationship between the two, how real math works using manipulatives, arrays, songs, movement, skip counting and stories in this fun, engaging camp. The goal of this Math camp is to help each learner understand the math that they see and exercise their brain and math skills over Winter break. Learners learn much easier using visual and kinesthetic methods that are represented by 3-D manipulatives, blocks, cubes, legos, and coins which are all invaluable tools for helping the learner see how Math facts work together. We will be using such manipulatives each day in camp. The learners will gain an understanding of what the multiplication and division process is through the grouping of manipulatives, manually moving and drawing various objects in arrays, using graph paper, tiles or blocks. Learners will work on hearing the numbers in sequence as they skip count, listening to stories about each different fact family, act it out and retell the story. Learners will sing multiplication and division songs cementing the concepts. They will practice finger tricks to learn and memorize the facts. Learners will have a CHALLENGE: a math riddle to answer. So put on your thinking cap and let the fun begin! Learners who thought they couldn't learn and remember multiplication and division facts find they can once they complete Fact Families Rock: A Multiplication & Division Summer Camp. Day 1: Understanding how multiplication works, grouping of manipulatives [objects], arrays [rows, columns], stories of "fact families," retelling stories, math songs, movement, math riddles Day 2: Understanding how division works, arrays [rows, columns], repeated subtraction, skip counting forward & backwards, math songs, stories of "fact families," retelling stories, math riddles Day 3: Putting it all together: mathematical terms & vocabulary, retelling math stories, songs, movement, finger tricks, math riddles

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from Indiana University
Being an educator for forty + years, I've taught all subjects to students K-8 which included math classes at all levels. I've taught special needs students and designed full curriculum for K-12 students. In addition, I have taught students online for seven years. When I was a young student, I thought I didn't like math because it was hard for me. The truth was, I didn't understand the fundamentals of math, even though I could calculate and get the right answers. This is why I am so passionate about learners understanding the concept and relationship to numbers and operations, because once they understand that, learners will excel in Math and really begin to love it as I do now.Reviews
