1:1 Critical Thinking Builder: resolución de problemas y acertijos matemáticos

I'm excited to offer my most popular class in a one to one format!  This will allow your learner to have more time on some puzzles and may spend less time on others, all depending on your learner's needs.

Need to develop confidence in math?  Critical Thinking Builder does that while also developing important thinking skills including observation, analysis, inference, communication, perseverance, reasoning, and problem solving.

Even if they've had a difficult time in their math classes, learners can be successful in algebra and geometry courses.  

In each session, we’ll solve a variety of puzzle type activities, brain teasers, and math challenges...all while developing a positive growth mindset.

Your learner will be given “thinking time” before our discussion begins, and I’ll provide hints on some of the puzzles after some thinking time has passed, as necessary.  I am very mindful of the fine line between challenging and frustrating.

Emphasis is not placed on solving problems quickly; rather, emphasis is placed on the process of problem solving and communicating thought processes clearly.

My goal is to encourage learners that critical thinking is highly dependent on the tenacity and perseverance they put into solving problems.

Every week, I'll also post 1 to 2 bonus puzzles in the classroom for your learner to enjoy throughout the week.  Solutions will also be posted at the end of the week.

Reviews for Critical Thinking Builder group class:
Mrs. Kennedy is such a patient and calm professor. Our Daughter has struggled with feeling rushed & timed in many other math classes. Even if the other classes have professed to teach in a gaming forum, the games are usually competitive or rushed. However, Mrs. Kennedy teaches math with brain teasers, puzzles, problem solving and games in a non competitive and rewarding way. Thank for helping to show & teach our Daughter that math and learning does not need to be a race, and can even be fun  :)   -Tracey

My daughter loves these classes!  She has requested more classes of Mrs. Kennedy’s. Learning made fun🤩  -Mikell

I’m a high school math teacher who loves working with students who think they’re bad at math.  Questions?  Message me anytime.
