In this interactive and engaging class, students will explore the exciting world of geometry through fun, hands-on activities. Each week, we'll dive into a new concept, using real-life examples to make geometry come alive! Whether we're exploring shapes, angles, symmetry, or even 3D objects, students will see how geometry is all around them and develop a strong foundation in geometric thinking. By blending lectures, games, and hands-on activities, I will strive to keep the class dynamic and engaging, allowing students to learn through various methods and reinforcing their understanding of geometric concepts. Week Sept 10: Introduction to Shapes Topic: Explore basic shapes (triangles, squares, circles, etc.) Activity: Shape scavenger hunt around the house Week Sept 17: Understanding Angles Topic: Introduction to angles (right, acute, obtuse) Activity: Create a simple angle finder Week Sept 24: Exploring Symmetry Topic: Understanding symmetry and identifying symmetrical objects Activity: Symmetry drawing challenge Week Oct. 1: The World of Polygons Topic: Introduction to polygons (pentagons, hexagons, etc.) Activity: Polygon art project Week Oct. 8: Perimeter and Area Topic: Learn to calculate the perimeter and area of basic shapes Activity: Measure and calculate the perimeter and area of household objects Week Oct. 15: Understanding 3D Shapes Topic: Introduction to 3D shapes (cubes, spheres, pyramids, etc.) Activity: Build 3D shapes using everyday materials Week Oct.22: Tessellations and Patterns Topic: Explore tessellations and how they work Activity: Create your own tessellation pattern Week Oct.29: Geometry in the Real World Topic: Discover how geometry is used in architecture, art, and nature Activity: Design a geometric structure or pattern

Hello! You can call me Mrs. Tiffany and I am so excited to impart my love for learning and knowledge to our young ones. My classes are unique as I am and through experimentation, exploration, and investigation we can gain a deeper understanding of the world we live in which is essential for advancing knowledge and innovation in virtually every area of human endeavor. Since each learner is different, I use different learning styles to reach and inspire where making mistakes is part of the learning process. Learning can indeed be a challenge and to be able to overcome obstacles and setbacks we must learn perseverance and resilience.
Mathematics has been a favorite subject of mines since I was a child. Although I received formal education in this subject, I have been a lifelong autodidact, a self -taught learner. I just love to learn especially math because it is a valued and important tool in our understanding of the universe. Math is all around us in our buildings, aircrafts, technology, medicine, food, clothing and in nature therefore it is vital that we understand and appreciate it. Too often I hear from children that they hate school and in particular math beginning in kindergarten. Proficiency in math amongst school age children is low. Why is this happening? I do not have the answer but perhaps one reason could be student engagement or the lack thereof in particular those considered neurodivergent such as ones diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia or others. I am neurodivergent and so is my 7-year-old son. We experience and learn differently. My son did not do well in the public school setting even though he had an IEP. Academically, my son did not qualify for special education but the regular classroom overwhelmed him. The large number of children in his class, the sound of the toilet constantly flushing, the fire alarm bell that periodically sounded, having to sit still while the teacher gave instruction caused him great anxiety. I thought how could he possibly learn academically if he spent the majority of his time anxious and overstimulated. Therefore, three years ago I began to homeschool him and I have seen a big difference.
My classes are designed to ignite a curiosity and passion for learning by providing an extraordinary experience that utilizes multiple forms of media, hands on activities, as well as movement during lessons creating an interactive and engaging learning environment. I am sensitive and responsive to the needs of children including ones with learning differences and their parents because I am parent too
I love to teach and for 20+ years I have worked with people of all ages including young ones in the community including ones with disabilities on various topics such as the importance of oral health, English grammar and linguistics, Spanish, and Math. As was previously mentioned, I have been homeschooling my son for the past 3+ years. There have been challenges along the way but by being flexible, adaptable, perseverant, and resilient, empathetic and creative we can be successful and this is my goal for learning and instructing.
1.5 semesters left to complete my studies in Computer Science with a track in Cybersecurity / Applied Mathematics dual degrees from Towson University.
2021 to present - I worked as a volunteer at the Hussman Center for Adults with Autism, Institute for Well-Being Towson University and in addition I have received continuous training in understanding and supporting neurodivergent children and adults through the Kennedy Kreiger Institute
2021 to present - I started my journey as a homeschool instructor.
10+ years as a self-taught learner of mathematics
I would love to teach the foundation of Math to students. I believe that having a solid foundation to the basics of math is crucial for learning more complex math later on. Math is all around us and we use it every day. For example, we use math to make decisions such as What is the likelihood that it is going to rain today and should I take an umbrella? What are the reviews for a particular restaurant. What does the data show? Beginning with Number Sense and learning it conceptually and its application in the real world can greatly help understanding on a deeper level. Math is a broad discipline not solely reliant on calculations, formulas, and rote memorization but on inquiry, deep thought, investigation, exploration, and experimentation. My classes motivate young people to learn with games, discussion, interactive materials, hands on activities, experiments and movement. This is my passion to accompany young one on their journey to learning and understanding and enjoying math. I enjoy seeing people succeed. Their success is my success.
