El proyecto de Navidad: Matemáticas con la Sra. B

Welcome to The Christmas Project: Math With Ms. B. Students won't even realize that they are reinforcing basic math skills like area, perimeter, converting measurements, money, fractions, doubling fractions, adding fractions,  addition, subtraction and multiplication in this multiday class.  This class is created for students to interact with teacher and peers.  This is a super fun class designed for all students to feel welcomed and be successful along with practicing math skills. Prior to each class meeting students can download and print that classes worksheet along with a pencil to participate in this class.  

Understanding of the above math skills is needed in order to participate and feel successful. This is a multi-day class. It is important that all students come to class prepared with class materials such as a pencil and printable. If printing is not an option, please let me know, we can decide together how to support your learner (sharing screen of task and writing down answers). After each task, I help support students by feeling excited and proud of their work, I encourage all students to give themselves a smiley face or a star at the top of their paper. As a class we will take turns working on our math using my white board, helping each other and supporting peers. This class is a community, and we have a lot of fun working together.
