Class Experience

In this course, we will read through 28 different MathStart books from levels 2 and 3 and complete projects and activities related to the stories. These books are rich with learning about mathematical concepts of all kinds. Examples include: angles, operations, measurement, calendar, geometry, algebra, probability, skip counting, symmetry, timelines, and so much more!

Each day you will receive a video with an interactive and enthusiastic read aloud of the story. Students are encouraged to act out some of the scenes while they listen just like I do in the reading. 

Throughout the week, we will share our favorite stories with one another through video posts and do projects and photo scavenger hunts to illustrate some of the concepts from the stories. Students can expect to share photos of their projects and scavenger hunt items related to the book as a fun way to interact in the classroom and with one another. We will also make challenges for one another to solve. In addition, I will introduce students to some fun and free math games on abcya.com that we can play together and share.

Here is a breakdown of the stories and projects:

Week 1: 
Animals on Board (add up our favorite toys)

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Kenyon College
I have been homeschooling for 10+ years using this method of real life learning to make abstract concepts come to life for my students. Through the MathStart stories in this class, students will be exposed to a wide variety of mathematical ideas. Combine that with the hands on projects, and students will come away with practical experience of these ideas. Also, it is a lot of FUN, and when students have fun learning the knowledge sticks with them!
