CREATIVE MATH WORKSHOP
The Joy of Math Learning
An invitation to parents who believe that
creativity, social interactions, problem-solving, and stories
inspire and achieve personalized and optimal learning for children.
This August 2023, enroll your children aged 5-7 years in a 2-week
CREATIVE MATH LEARNING WORKSHOP
The Workshop’s Goals
(1) Foster a positive connection with math through socially
interactive, creative, and meaningful activities.
(2) Explore ways to apply math ideas in contexts and problem-
solving.
(3) Make sense of math concepts and procedures within a
relational framework.
(4) Practice math conversations, build math vocabulary, and enjoy
math learning.
As an innovative educational leader, I am passionate about reinventing education and nurturing students' potential to the fullest. Drawing inspiration from constructivism, the learning sciences, and creativity, I create learning environments that embrace social and intercultural dynamics. By valuing the unique identities and abilities of children, these programs foster caring and joy-filled communities of learners.
In this workshop, children will embark on an exciting mathematical journey with friends.
The young learners will dive into mathematical thinking through math stories that simulate real-world scenarios, and solve problems by designing solutions through concrete and mathematical modeling. They will learn as active readers of math stories while engaging in creative activities, games, and conversations, fueled by math ideas. Children will make sense of situations and open-ended problems presented in the stories by merging their natural logic and reasoning with mathematical concepts and processes.
Young children intuitively understand math in a relational framework.
Before the age of 2 years, toddlers grasp concepts like size and height through comparisons and observations. They can differentiate sets of 1,2, and 3. Understanding math in a relational framework is inherent in their natural way of making sense of the world.
What happens
to natural math abilities
when children
go to school?
Unfortunately, traditional math education often presents math as a series of disconnected and unrelated ideas, learned through memorization and repetition. This approach diminishes children's innate ability to understand math as a meaningful and relatable subject.
Growing Mathematical Understanding
by Tapping into Children's Innate Math Abilities,
Creativity, and Curiosity
Designed for children in grades K-2, this program breaks away from rigid and discrete applications of grade-level benchmarks. Through context-based and open-ended math questions, children merge their unique levels and abilities in mathematical thinking. Small group settings ensure individualized interactions, allowing children to make connections, discover patterns, and build mathematical models.
Playgroups of 3s or 4s
To participate in the workshop, parents will need to gather a group of 2-4 children to form a cohort. Ideally, a cohort will consist of children from the same age level or a combination of K-1 or 1st and 2nd grades. Each session accommodates 3-4 children. The organization of cohorts is done by parents.
The program spans 2 weeks, with 10 2-hour sessions.
Cohorts can choose to start either on August 7 or August 21.
Morning sessions: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Afternoon sessions: 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Program Cost
Group of 2-3: $1,000 per child
Group of 4: $900 per child
The fee includes all materials and books needed for the program.
Children will need to bring their own snacks and drinks.
Secure your child’s spot in this transformative program by booking as soon as possible. Don’t miss this opportunity to ignite your child’s math potential and set them on a path of confident meaningful, and joyful mathematical learning.
