Class Experience
Do you like math? Do you like solving puzzles? Do you want to have fun with both? In this one-week class, we will use math to practice problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Each day will focus on a specific problem type. Students will have time to brainstorm and work on solving problems in small groups. We will then have the groups present their solutions and discuss how they solved the problem. Day One: Introduction to Critical Thinking Day Two: Visual and Spatial...
Students will use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to solve problems. Students will generate and analyze patterns and relationships. Students will represent and interpret data. Students will reason about and solve equations.
I am a former elementary school teacher with extensive experience in planning math lessons and teaching them in the classroom. I also facilitated after school "Math Bootcamp" tutoring sessions to help prepare struggling students for the statewide assessment tests. I am a member of the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics. I am currently working toward my master’s degree in teaching math and science to students K – 8th grade. A number of the master’s level courses I have completed have been devoted to teaching techniques and strategies for elementary and middle school math students. I have also completed master’s level coursework in teaching problem solving and critical thinking skills.
Paper and pencil. Printouts will be sent prior to a specific day's class if needed for an activity. For spatial relationship puzzles, q-tips, tooth picks, or "long" Legos may be used to help visualize problems.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
3 hours 45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
