Help students maintain/advance proficiency in math and writing. Students will learn about their own creativity. Lessons will be engaging and challenging.
I offer creative math and creative writing enrichment for grades 4-6. I make my math and writing sessions engaging, interesting, and challenging. I do this in math with a wide variety of projects, puzzles, brainteasers, problems and critical thinking activities.
MATH
My goal is to help students maintain/advance their current level of math proficiency and to be supportive of the classroom teacher(s).
