In this unique class blending math and geography, students will not only practice rounding and place value to the thousands using bricks, they will also review continents and different countries while learning interesting facts about some of the tallest skyscrapers in the world! We'll go through an interactive slideshow with photos while writing and building with bricks or duplos. Currently, the tallest building in the world is the Burj Khalifa. It is located in Dubai (the Middle East) and is about 2,700 feet tall! We'll learn this and more while practicing writing each tower's height to the thousands on the provided worksheet, and rounding to the nearest hundredth using bricks. (We will not be building actual skyscrapers in this class, but we will use blocks to represent how tall they are.) **You will need a large bag or container for this lesson, about 100 bricks or duplos of similar size.** This is a great activity for counting to 100! Classes that do not meet a minimum of 2 students may be cancelled. Sibling discounts available upon request!
Learning Goals

Hi! I'm Miss Tatiana. I am an 8th year Home-Educator as well as a Photographer with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. My passions include Geography, World Cultures, Art History, Conservation and Animals!
My classes offer a Montessori-style approach to learning, which includes supporting images or video with text, and many open-ended questions to encourage critical thinking skills. Whenever possible, literacy, vocabulary, number sense, science and geography are all baked into my lessons.
My main goal in education is to make learning fun, and to foster a sense of wonder and lifelong curiosity about our world.
My experience in home-education and various homeschool cooperatives have given me the opportunity to work with children of all ages, and create fun and engaging activities that are easily absorbed. I have organized group service projects and extracurricular classes such as Art shows, Geography Fairs, STEAM workshops, LEGO Club, Green Team Recycling, and more! I am also the founder of a Multicultural Homeschool community and offer classes focused on world cultures, art and various other subjects.Reviews
