Math Mysteries Junior Detectives Club: A Math Enrichment Club for Young Math Enthusiasts
Class experience
US Grade 1 - 2
This interactive club is targeted for 6-8 year old learners who are looking for challenge and enrichment in the area of math. I believe that the joy of learning comes when children have the opportunity to discover new understandings as they experience unique challenges in a safe, nurturing environment. In this course, learners will be presented with a new "math mystery" each week. Learners will have an opportunity to problem solve individually and work together as a small group before the...

As a former Math/Science teacher and FIRST LEGO League Robotics coach, I have spent countless hours helping elementary school aged children discover the wonder of learning through play. My work as a Gifted and Talented Specialist also taught me the importance of inspiring children to look beyond the obvious to the abstract and helped me to see the joy that comes from viewing every child through the lens of his or her strengths. I have a degree in Biology and have also spent several years working with gifted and talented students in Kindergarten through fifth grade. This gives me a unique perspective as I work alongside my learners, gently guiding their thinking and helping them to discover exciting new truths about the world around them. In addition to my education certifications in Elementary Education, Gifted Education, and English as a Second Language, I also have a degree in Biology from Wake Forest University.
