About This Activity
Tuesday - Nov 17 | Dec 1, 8, 15 | Jan 5, 12, 19, 26 | Feb 2, 9 10 sessions x 90 minutes Build a new toy factory every class—doll workshops, toy car production lines, and more. Students are factory designers and business owners: every math problem solved counts parts, fills orders, and grows the factory. Behind the play is real grade-level math, Common Core-aligned and adjusted to each student's skill level, and after every class families get a recap of completed and challenging problems. Example Classes this Session: * Race Car Factory: Keep the production line rolling, using math to build cars and track how many roll out—learning how numbers measure progress. * Puzzle Factory: Count every piece into the box so no puzzle ships incomplete—learning precision, every piece accounted for. * Holiday Rush: The biggest order of the season lands and the whole factory rallies—learning perseverance, order after order. Class Structure: * Students jump right in—every correct answer fills orders, earns progress, and builds toward the class goal, each at their own pace. * Every factory has a shared Construction Zone; hit the class goal and a VIP arrives with the week's mini game. Skills & Take-aways: * The Common Core practices behind the play—precision, fluency, and perseverance—at each student's skill level. * Math as a tool for making decisions—practice with purpose. * No experience needed. Students can take this class more than once—the factories change every session. Awards and Accreditations: * Lando is a WASC-accredited program with awards including STEM.org Best in STEM, Academics' Choice, and Parents' Picks. * ESSA Tier IV certified through academic partnerships with Leanlab and Northwestern, affirming measurable learning outcomes. Safety and Communication: * Sign-in and sign-out texts let you know your mathematician is safe, and a local coordinator is reachable by text during class. * iPads run our app on local Wi-Fi—no web browsing.
