¡La práctica hace al maestro! Desarrollo de habilidades para prepararse para preálgebra (de 10 a 13 años)

Using a power point presentation, we will do a quick review of skills needed to be able to solve the puzzle/game of the day.  We will discuss strategies for solving problems, and volunteers will be called on to share their solutions.  Students can also use the chat box to share solutions.  A deeper dive into instruction will be provided as needed.  During the 4 days, students can expect to work on the following:

Class 1:  Solving a Decoder Puzzle to Practice Order of Operations 
Class 2:  Using Emoji Puzzles to Solve Addition and Subtraction Equations 
Class 3:  Adding and Subtracting Integers (Kakooma game if there's time, or examples will be shared in the Classroom)
Class 4:  Solving a Decoder Puzzle to Multiply and Divide Integers

Students in this course should have some understanding of how to add, subtract, multiply and divide whole numbers.  We will build on these skills to include operations with integers, and use this knowledge to solve equations and evaluate expressions.
