I encourage creative thinking, self-directed learning, and creative problem-solving. By asking students leading questions, I model for them how task and answer questions to seek information. I also encourage engaged learning, contemplation, and discussion. I help my students develop skills to analyze and evaluate information, as well as create meaningful, thoughtful work. I'm excited to work with you!

Get Your Facts Straight: Addition and Subtraction within 20 is a positive, fun, interactive class based on the Singapore philosophy of problem-solving and deep-mathematical thinking. Participants interact with each other and the teacher.  Students will use manipulatives, drawing, games, and expressions and equations to practice addition and subtraction within 20.  This class is appropriate for students who have some experience with math foundations such as count sequence, using fingers and objects to count, writing numbers, and solving simple addition and subtraction within 20. 

Sessions are structured to be engaging, fun, interactive, and short (for young attention spans). Although the focus is on addition and subtraction within 20, we also focus on other Kindergarten (and some Grade 1) math standards. Classes will cycle through continuously. 

Each session includes:
- Math story (addition/subtraction problem-solving and discussion) 
- Interactive math activity via whiteboard (examples include: addition, subtraction, counting, composing and decomposing numbers, number/quantity identification, comparing numbers, making 10, and identifying patterns)
- A fun group math game via whiteboard
