STAR學生解謎者 - 數學密室逃脫全課程課程

Calling all Mathematicians! We need your help!!! The STAR Students of Galaxy Elementary School are faced with not one, not two, not three, but EIGHT mysteries!! 

In this ongoing math escape/breakout room math mystery series students will learn about and practice 3rd grade math skills. All third grade math topics will be covered. This class is suited for students who are entering and prepare them for 3rd grade or if students are entering 4th grade, this will be a great review. These classes do not build on one another so students can participate in all classes or only the class(es) that cover topics that they are interested in. 

We will start as a whole class to read about the mystery at hand and get to know the STAR Students of Galaxy Elementary School. We will start as a whole class and I will teach a lesson on the given topic. I teach in a "to, with, by" gradual release model where I teach TO the students, then, practice problems WITH them to get them comfortable to work BY themselves as independent practice to secure the skills at hand. In the third portion of the class, I will send students a Google Slides where they will practice the skills taught and navigate a breakout / escape room independently, in their own breakout room. By answering problems correctly, they are able to move through to the next problem. They will not be able to move past a problem unless they get it correct. However, I am ALWAYS available for help. I will check in on students and give students the opportunity to let me know when they need help.

Skills needed:
Reading: Approximately third grade level
Some background knowledge and experience with the topic at hand will be helpful. If students are experienced with these skills, this class would be a great and fun review for them! 

In addition to covering math topics, learners will have the opportunity to put their reading and critical thinking skills to practice as well! 

*This class runs best with at least 3 students. If there are less than 3 students, I am still happy to teach the class, but please note that the class might not run the full hour (the class is naturally longer with more students!). If you would prefer to be transferred to another section, please let me know at least 24 hours prior to the start of class.*
