Brain Warriors Escape Rooms: 스토리, 수학 및 피트니스의 즐거움 - 수학 기술 향상

During each week of this Ongoing class, your learner will enjoy a different story with fun characters and compelling escape predicaments.  After meeting the character/s and finding out their problem, students will travel together through all of the "skills rooms".  Using their advancing math skills (number patterns, addition, subtraction, counting base ten blocks, counting simple coin combinations, telling time, and beginning (picture supported) multiplication under 50, they will unlock the "codes", perform the fitness task, and free the story character/s and resolve the situation. 

Learners will be given time to complete the codes by recording their answers on an erasable white board or using paper and pencil.  SUPPORT WILL BE GIVEN AS NEEDED along the way.  Learners will take turns revealing the codes and leading the count for the fitness exercise.  Once the code has been unlocked, and the fitness skill is completed, the class will move together to the next "clue" (problem).   At several points during the skills practice portion of class, we will check back in with the story characters to celebrate our success in helping them "escape"!

EXAMPLES of the FITNESS SKILLS include activities such as:  
20 one foot hops 
20 jumping jacks 
twisting 20 X 
30 second plank hold
10 toe touches
30 seconds of jogging in place

IMPORTANT NOTE:  
This is a "practice" class, not an initial instruction of skills class.  Support, strategies, and a little basic instruction is given when needed and when students request help.  This class does have some PREREQUISITE SKILLS.   Your learner should be pretty familiar (but not perfect) with the following skills in order to participate without frustration:
* addition & subtraction (single and DOUBLE digit; NO regrouping)
* skip counting and number sequences (including triple digits by 2's, 3's, 5's, 10's, 25's, 100's
* the values for coins and how to count them (pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters) 
* reading an analog clock (the one with a face)
* counting base ten blocks
* the basic concept of multiplication (no memorized facts required)
