This is the second class in a series. If you have not taken the first one, please take it first and then take this one. This one will be more challenging than class one. Students who are visual/spatial learners would love this hands-on class! Those that love a challenge will also thrive. Students will make designs with toothpicks and then remove or move some to make a new design by listening to the instructions. You will need access to toothpicks, a flat surface and your best problem solving. It would also be helpful if students are on a tablet or phone so they can move it to show their designs. If time permits, students could make up puzzles of their own or could do so after class to astonish their friends and family members. Example instructions: Remove 8 toothpicks to get 2 triangles.
Learning Goals
Students will be using higher level visual/spatial thinking as they solve problems using toothpicks. Hands on class.
Other Details

Teacher expertise and credentials
New Mexico Teaching Certificate
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Brigham Young University
I graduated in 1983 with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. I enjoy teaching people of all ages. I have experience teaching in a regular classroom, special-ed pull-out classroom, and gifted pull-out as well as 3 years of on-line teaching experience with two different ESL companies.
I have traveled to 49 of the 50 states and have lived in seven of them. I have also traveled in Central and South America, including a trip through the Panama Canal.
I love history, National Parks, data, traveling, music, and crafts.
Most of my experience has been teaching gifted elementary children in pull-out programs. I also can individualize instruction for the needs of your learner if you prefer 1:1 instruction.
If you have taken any of my classes and are interested in private tutoring, I am happy to offer that.
I am also Mrs. Claus during the holiday season. Yes, I am married to Santa!
