Add, subtract, multiply, divide - is it as simple as that? It could be. Krypto is a mathematics game that involves solving to a target number from five other numbers. You can play with a deck of Krypto cards, or just throw your own numbers out and play. For those who love math, this game works when you're 8 or 88! Be the first to combine the numbers, or see how many ways you can do it. We'll learn the game, play it, and spend a little bit of time thinking about ways to modify it for more or less challenge. For learners who are ready, we'll also include concepts of order of operations - solutions can be written as a single mathematical sentence! Learners will receive a handout of related puzzles as well as instructions for making their own Krypto deck after completion of the class. This game is most fun when learners have mastered their multiplication table through 10s, and the related division.

Please come with pencil and paper! Calculators are optional, and often make it harder rather than easier to play.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Teaching and learning are passions - schooling is not. I have worked in public schools for 13 years, and know the joys of having amazing students and the struggles of fitting systems that aren't designed to work for them (or me). I teach nearly any subject, specializing in the particular needs of gifted students. Children are people, and treating them any other way is wrong.
As I specialize in gifted students, I know that there are some students who are ready for and need what I am teaching, but are younger than my age range. Just get in touch with me if you think your child belongs in one of my classes, but is too young. I also provide a range of levels of challenge in the work we do, so more advanced students will always find something new to think about.
I hold a B.A. in English and an M.A. in Gifted Education, with a teaching certificate in elementary education and an endorsement for K-12 gifted students. I have worked primarily at the middle school level in schools and tutored from ages 6 through adults. While my degree is in English, I have spent most of my teaching career teaching primarily math, and in my core believe that math should be taught as a way of thinking, asking questions, posing problems, and exploring relationships rather than acquiring skills. Teaching math as it is typically done is like teaching English by only teaching grammar.
I love to read, puzzle, explore ideas, and cause my young children to think about the world deeply. I'm pretty sure I'm raising at least one scientist - and that science, like math, is not a set of facts but a way of thinking.
I also teach for Gifted Course Providers. Feel free to contact me about courses I may offer elsewhere.
