In this club, we will exercise our brains with mental math computations. Students who possess the skills to visualize and manipulate numbers will not only be more proficient at solving math problems, but they will have a greater ability to comprehend other math concepts. Each time we meet, the student will be presented with a type of problem that will be our focus for the day. We will draw pictures of the problem and discover the "trick" to solving it together. The student will gradually be encouraged to exchange physical drawings for mental visualizations in order to solve. We will work to increase proficiency of the new skill as well as review past learned skills. Examples of topics are listed below. Topic 1: Adding strings of whole numbers Subtopic A: Rearranging for 10's Subtopic B: Tricks for ordered sequences of numbers Subtopic C: Adding larger sums without paper Topic 2: Multiplying whole numbers Subtopic A: Rearranging factors to multiply strings of numbers Subtopic B: Multiplying 2-digit numbers by 2 Subtopic C: Multiplying 2-digit numbers by 5 Subtopic D: Multiplying factors with a difference of Subtopic E: Multiplying 2-digit numbers by 11 Topic 3: Fractions and Percents Subtopic A: Identifying common equivalent fractions and percents Subtopic B: Finding fractions/percents of whole numbers Subtopic C: Comparing/ordering fractions Subtopic D: Comparing/ordering fractions with percents Topic 4: Visualizing fractions (solving without algorithms) Subtopic A: Finding fractions of fractions (multiplication) Subtopic B: Dividing fractions and whole numbers Subtopic C: Dividing fractions and fractions Topic 5: Conversions Subtopic A: Converting length units (ft. to yd., in. to ft., etc.) Subtopic B: Converting square units (sq. ft. to sq. yd., etc.) Subtopic C: Converting cubic units (cu. ft. to cu. yd., etc.) Subtopic D: Converting kitchen units

My name is Mrs. B, and I primarily teach math and science. During my time teaching in public school, I taught elementary classes (all subjects), junior high math and science, and high school math. Outside of school, I have served in multiple leadership and teaching roles with young learners in various group settings, including book club, quilting club, 4-H club, food challenge (cooking), chorus, and other special interest classes. Being a mom of four children has greatly increased my compassion and understanding.
I believe every student is valuable and has an important purpose in life. As a teacher, it is my goal to help my students not only learn the necessary material, but to help them learn to think and to problem solve. I believe the most effective mode of learning is by making connections with the problem at hand, and allowing the student to discover WHY we solve problems the way that we do.
I am passionate about learning, and I see math and science everywhere! I enjoy playing the piano. Music is so mathematical, from simpler ideas like tempo and rhythm, to the ratios and exponential relationships of soundwaves in pitches. I enjoy sewing, which requires addition and subtraction of fractions, and allows growth in visual-spatial reasoning. I enjoy baking. When baking, we use multiplication and division with fractions, but I also have learned much about the chemistry (and biology!) of ingredients. My family enjoys farming and foraging. It is amazing how much biology there is to learn with these practices! My most recent project has been cheesemaking. Through this, I have been able to learn so much about bacteria cultures. My family also enjoys exploring the outdoors. Clearly, we learn much science from observing nature. I hope to help my students also learn to connect math and science to the world around them.
