My Project

I'm so fortunate to share my classroom with amazing mathematicians! They wow me with their desire to learn, as well as their thoughts and efforts.

The subject of math demands we stay "in the zone." We can't allow our minds to wander or overlook information.

This is challenging for young learners, especially when they don't understand the hows and whys of doing so.

These logic puzzles and stacking challenges will help my students understand what it means to be attentive and how important it is to stay focused. Best of all, this learning will be through a playful experience with their classmates.
