K-2 Session 1: Number Sense Ninjas
Get ready for some number fun, Kindergarten, first grade, and second grade mathematicians! In this Math Workshop Session we will explore number sense, the understanding of numbers and their relationships, enabling flexible and adaptable thinking about numbers and their operations. We’re going on a counting quest – mastering counting by twos, fives, tens, and even hundreds! We’ll become place value pros, understanding how many hundreds, tens, and ones make up numbers up to 1000! Think of it like unlocking secret number codes! Then, prepare to become addition and subtraction rockstars! We’ll use our awesome adding skills to solve bigger problems, discovering strategic ways to find sums and differences. Get ready to explore number relationships, compare like math detectives, and become mental math wizards with ones, tens, and hundreds! Join us for games and challenges that will make you a true math champion! Let’s count, compare, add, and subtract our way to success! We’ll play games, use math tools like number paths, ten frames, counters, number lines, counters, hundred charts, and more to make learning numbers an adventure! Don’t miss out on the fun – let’s count, operate, and explore together!
Six 2-hour sessions- Mondays 10:00 AM-12:00 PM: Sept. 8, 15, 22, 29, Oct. 6 (skip Oct. 13), Oct. 20
K-2 Session 2: Shape Sleuths
Calling all Geometry enthusiasts, get ready to explore shapes of all sizes, both two-dimensional and three-dimensional! We’ll dive into shapes, learning how to put them together to make new ones and even take them apart! We’ll learn about their sides, edges, vertices, corners, and how they’re different. We’ll even discover how to build new shapes by putting smaller ones together and how to divide them into equal parts like halves, thirds, and fourths! We will support our geometric understanding through the use of math tools including pattern blocks, plane and solid shapes, and even create our own shapes with toothpicks and clay. Get ready for hands-on activities, shape sorting challenges, and building adventures that will make you a geometry superstar!
Six 2-hour sessions- Mondays 10:00 AM-12:00 PM: Nov. 3, 10, 17, (skip Nov. 24) Dec. 1, 8, 15
K-2 Session 3: Addition Aces
Addition Aces, Get Ready to Add Up the Fun! Join our Math Workshop Session and become a super strategic addition expert! We’ll unlock cool addition strategies that make sense and use awesome models to tackle addition problems like hundred charts, number lines, and base ten blocks! Discover clever ways to add numbers using your knowledge of place value – those hundreds, tens, and ones. Some of the addition strategies we will explore: breaking each number into its place value, making landmark or friendly numbers, doubles/near doubles, making tens, compensation, and adding up in chunks. You’ll even learn to do amazing mental math with just tens or just hundreds! Get ready for exciting games and activities that will make you a confident and fluent adder! Let’s add it up and become math superstars!
Six 2-hour sessions- Mondays 10:00 AM-12:00 PM: Jan. 5, 12, (skip Jan. 19), Jan. 26, Feb. 2, 9, (skip Feb. 16), Feb. 23
K-2 Session 4: Measurement and Data Detectives
Get ready for an exciting adventure in our Measurement and Data Detectives Math Workshop Session! We’ll become measuring experts, using rulers, yardsticks, and measuring tapes to find out just how long things really are! We’ll even see what happens when we measure the same thing with different-sized units! Then, we’ll become estimation superstars, making smart guesses about lengths in inches, feet, centimeters, and meters! We’ll compare objects to see how much longer one is than the other and use our adding and subtracting skills to solve length word problems. But that’s not all! We’ll become time-telling heroes, reading clocks to the nearest five minutes and understanding a.m. and p.m.! And get ready to become money-wise mavens, solving problems with dollars and cents. Finally, we’ll become data detectives, creating cool graphs – picture graphs and bar graphs – to show what we’ve found! We’ll even solve puzzles using the information in our graphs! Get ready for hands-on activities, measuring challenges, time-telling games, money mysteries, and data discoveries. Let’s measure, graph, and explore together!
Six 2-hour sessions- Mondays 10:00 AM-12:00 PM: March 2, 9, 16, 23, (skip March 30), April 6, 13
K-2 Session 5: Subtraction Superheroes
Ready to decompose numbers, Subtraction Superheroes? Get Ready to Take Away! Join our fun-filled Math Workshop Session where we’ll become subtraction experts! Learn all about “taking apart” and “taking from” with amazing objects, your own fingers, by acting out subtraction stories, and exploring a host of subtraction strategies to use that make sense! Some of the subtraction strategies we will explore: adding up, removing or counting back, place value, keeping a constant distant, and adjusting one number to create an easier problem. We’ll solve exciting subtraction word problems and become subtraction stars. Discover how to break down numbers in lots of different ways. Let’s build on what we know about addition to make a case for the connection to subtraction. Plus, we’ll find those special number partners that make 10 and 100. And guess what? Let’s subtract, explore, and become number whizzes together!
Six 2-hour sessions- Mondays 10:00 AM-12:00 PM: April 20, 27, May 4, 11, 18, (skip May 25), June 1
