Description

One of the most important skills in learning is the ability to reflect on and communicate solutions to problems. In this class, students will work with their instructor to combine elements of story writing with key mathematical vocabulary to build competency across multiple academic disciplines. Students will be using their knowledge of basic math concepts to identify elements such as time, money, fractions, repeated addition, and subtraction within fictional stories. Students will go through the process of editing and revising their stories to make a final draft.

After reading several stories together, students will work with the instructor to turn their understanding of math into a visual story using creative thinking and problem-solving. Join us as we dive into stories together in search of all the ways math is hidden in every part of our world!

Students will learn:

How to write using a mathematical vocabulary
Time, Money, Fractions, Repeated Addition, and Subtraction
Problem-solving and Creative Thinking

Class Materials:

*For this class, please make sure your child comes prepared with a blank sheet of paper, lined paper, markers/crayons, and a pencil.

Owen says:

Ms. Marla is very focused and professional. She engages well with students. She is thorough with content and preparation. Each student is engaged, happy, and active in her classes because of Ms. Marla and the way she teaches her lessons. My daughter had lots of fun with a variety of learning tools -- videos, sight words, writing, sounds, etc. I think she found them both fun and fulfilling.

Lewis says:

Significant progress with Marla! The class is very well structured, interactive, and targeted.

Shantell says:

Marla kept everyone involved by encouraging them to share their thoughts and ideas and stories. She was enthusiastic and well organized. She had different methods of learning from videos to songs and books and their own story creating. My son could not wait each day for it to start.

Kim says:

4- Stars for the class, but 5- Stars for the Instructor! I think this class was too advanced for my 5-year-old Pre-K student since she doesn\'t even know how to read 3 letter words. However, she enjoyed the class and I would sign up again because she still got a lot of practice writing and participating in a class.

Akhila says:

5- stars! Good Class and instructor.

Joanna says:
