Let's begin our journey into strategic math together. 
We will enjoy making math easy with magic tricks!

To fly with ease in the world of fractions, decimals, and percentages, we need to master our multiples of 6,7,8,9. So we will get those squared out right away in four condensed and super effective classes. Believe it or not, your child will once and for all be able to write down all times tables from 6 to 12 quickly to solve fractions, decimals, and percentages easily.
How? We will discover their magical pattern, build the Sieve of Eratosthenes, and so much more. Memorizing them will become EASY! We will also review one timetable from 6 to 12 in each following class; repetition is critical with rhythmical skip-counting.

Once we know our multiplications by heart, further arithmetical processes are more manageable. We will practice essential mathematical concepts of fractions, percentages, and decimals to find solutions to daily life problems. We will deeply understand the world of fractions and how to manipulate them to meet our needs. We will get comfortable calculating decimal numbers and what they reveal to us. We will comprehend why percentages are essential and so much more.
Math makes sense when applied to real-life events!

We will read and write small problem stories and draw the solution out.
We will draw and color our equations to create a one-of-a-kind mathematical piece of art!
The accent is not on quantity but on quality. 

At Waldorfunn, each class begins with a deep breath. We light a candle and say a verse to set ourselves up for a beautiful learning experience. Similarly, each class ends with gratitude, a share-and-tell of our work, and a farewell goodbye.

I am sincerely looking forward to meeting you and your child.
I guarantee my high-quality classes. I pour my heart into each class and cultivate a loving relationship with each student.
I love math, I love teaching, and children feel it!
