This class is designed for higher level thinkers that need a challenge in their learning. The teacher's background is in teaching gifted students in a pull-out program. Being identified as gifted is not required. The problems in this class will be math based. Some puzzles will be done independently and the answers shared with the teacher via chat. Other problems will be talked out as a group. In each class, learners will share their strategies with each other to solve the problems. Students will rely on each other to share their thought processes so that they can learn different strategies than they may have otherwise used. Puzzles will be displayed on a slide show and we will work through them as the class progresses. Monday: Sudoku Addition Tuesday: What's the Sign? Wednesday: Addition Switch Thursday: Dice Pairs Friday: CrossMath Puzzles Numerous puzzles will be given every class. Expect to be challenged!
Learning Goals
Students will use higher level thinking skills and share their strategies with other students in the class to solve a variety of kinds of math puzzles.
