Pirate, parrots, and a plethora of money! This sounds like a recipe for disaster! How are we to know who is guilty in the crimes that have been committed?! Math detectives, you're our only hope! This class will ask learners to use their money/decimal number place value skills to determine who is guilty in one crazy crime scenario! Learners will read statements made by potential suspects and witnesses and work to determine who is guilty! The teacher will facilitate this discussion-based class, with students using their understanding of decimals/money to comb through evidence! Mini lessons or review of money/decimal 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 money/decimal place value, while having fun at the same time! Note: Decimals will only go to the hundredths place! We will discuss the value of the digits in these numbers, use expanded form to pull apart our values, and compare decimals. All math will be explained, so as long as learners have a basic understanding of decimal/monetary value, they will be able to work through this mystery!
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of money/decimal 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
