In this one-time class students will take turns playing a Minecraft memory math game which will provide an introduction into correct pronunciation of fractions (e.g. one half, three fourths etc.), learning about fraction pies as well as how to understand them and the basic parts of a fraction. This class offers a way to teach the beginning concepts of fractions in a fun, relaxed kind of way. While individually taking turns to identify pairs, students will also have the opportunity to work together and help each other learn.  Each student will have multiple turns during the game and multiple games may be played as time permits. This class is great for students who love Minecraft! Students will have the opportunity to share any related Minecraft toys/news/art with the class if they choose to.


My class setting is a relaxed, fun, open space for students to be able to discuss and express their thoughts about what we are learning. I encourage student interaction with not only myself but with their fellow classmates. Everyone is expected to be respectful and listen to one another but also feel like they have the ability to share their own thoughts and opinions. I believe learning should be fun and try to provide a space for that to happen.

*We will not be playing Minecraft in class

Learning Goals

Students will learn how to correctly pronounce/identify fractions and read fraction pies while also flexing their memory muscles. They will learn how to encourage each other and how to participate in team based problem solving. They will also be able to share to the group about their favorite characters and/or games enhancing their group speaking skills.

**I truly love what I do, and I never want a child to miss out on the support they need just because times are tough. If you're feeling stretched or unsure about costs, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always happy to work together and find a price that works for both of us. Every child deserves the chance to thrive and I’m here to help make that happen however I can.**

Hi! I love to teach classes that are fun and promote discussion and creativity. In all of my classes I mix critical thinking with out of the box thinking so that the kids learn something brand new! I find the best way to do this is by using books, video games, trivia and other interactive components to keep them engaged and wanting to learn. 

My passion for critical thought stems from my degree in Philosophy. The integration of pop culture in my classes is rooted in a lifetime of toy collecting, video game playing, and during my time as a staff writer for an online comic book review site. Over the past five years I have created community-based, pop-up craft classes for parents and children that integrate culture and thought, and I am excited about the opportunity to share these types of activities with my students!

Outside of teaching I enjoy spending time with my husband, son, two cats and puppy! I love online gaming and spending a lot of time crafting.
