Math: Term 2 Super Pack
Purchase a discounted term (16 weeks) of classes! This includes:
Tree Kangaroos Add and Subtract by Tens (4 weeks)The Tree Kangaroo is between 1.6 and 2.13 feet in length, though its tail can be even longer than it is! In order to find the perfect tree to climb, they must make sure it has the perfect number of branches, which sometimes requires adding and subtracting. Because there are so many trees in their natural habitats (Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, and the far north of Queensland, Australia), they do it very quickly by adding and subtracting by tens!
Through in-class activities and independent practice, students will:
- Add and subtract multiples of 10 and leftovers between 0 and 200
- Identify the difference between two addends when that difference is a multiple of 10
Black-Footed Ferrets Use Fact Trees (4 weeks)
The black-footed ferret is the only ferret species native to North America, and it uses its long, slender shape to go through prairie dog burrows. In the prairie dog burrows, the ferret counts its food. Sometimes, this turns into a lot of counting, so it adds them quickly using fact trees.
Through in-class activities and independent practice, students will:
- Add or subtract two numbers by jumping to the nearest multiple of 10, then adding additional tens and leftovers (45 + 28 becomes 45 + 5 + 10 + 10 + 3)
- Identify pairs of numbers that add up to 200 using multiples of 5 and 10
Poison Dart Frogs Love Fact Families (4 weeks)
There are over 170 species of poison dart frog, and that is one big family! Join us and some poison dart frogs as we explore fact families to improve our addition and subtraction skills
Through in-class activities and independent practice, students will:
- Manipulate two addends to create an equivalent
- Double numbers to create patterns using a function rule
Time and Money with Monarch Butterflies (4 weeks)
