A stolen painting? A ticket scam? Who is guilty? How do we know?! Bring on all math detectives! We need YOU! This class will ask learners to use their whole number place value skills to determine who is guilty in various crime scenarios. Learners will read statements made by each suspect and work to determine which of them is lying! The teacher will facilitate this discussion-based class, with students using their understanding of numbers to comb through evidence! Mini lessons or review of place value will be provided as needed! The goal of this class is for students to both review and challenge themselves in the area of whole number place value, while having fun at the same time! Note: Scenarios used in this mystery will use numbers up to the ten millions place. We will also utilize expanded form (ex: 300 + 50 + 1), base 10 expanded form (ex: 3(100) + 5(1) + 1(1)), cover some rounding, and compare values of digits in numbers (ex: the value of 7 in 1,768 vs the 7 in 79,842). All math will be explained as the mystery unfolds, so as long as your learner has a good base knowledge of whole number place value, they'll be able to rock this mystery with us!

Students will improve their understanding of whole number place value.

Teacher expertise and credentials
WELCOME to the U Crew page! 🙂 Mrs. Urish here! Yes, "U Crew" is a play on my last name--and I cannot WAIT to get to teach y-o-U! As an elementary teacher for the last 11 years, I know that I can reach every learner AND create a fun learning environment at the same time! I love teaching math, kitchen chemistry, reading skills, and more! I enjoy sports, being outside, and spending time with friends and family (including my goofy 2-year-old, Kinley)!
Professionally, I have a degree in Elementary Education and a Masters in Curriculum and Design. Aside from everyday teaching, I've taught summer College for Kids (which is pure learning FUN), lead summer camps, and coached girls' basketball! Working with youth has always been a passion of mine, and I firmly believe that the best learning comes from the strongest relationships. I love bringing learning to life for my students, making content relevant to them, and watching those "light bulb" moments occur! I have zero doubt that with effort and patience, every child can learn!
That said, what are you waiting for? Join our U Crew! Can't wait to see "U" in class! 🙂Reviews
