Students will Create a Dinosaur Park using multi-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. As a class we will complete 12 math related tasks. This class is created for students to interact with teacher and peers. This is an engaging group class designed for all students to be successful and practice math skills together. 

As a class if we do not complete a task then students are encouraged to work on outside of class and we will review as a class the following meeting. 
Prior to each class meeting students can download and print that classes worksheet along with a pencil to participate in Create a Dinosaur Park. This is a multi-day class. It is important that all students come to class prepared with class materials such as a pencil and pintables.
