About This Activity
Fun games and activities to help each student internalize multiplication concepts and practice the skills. When it comes to teaching math facts, I don't believe memorization should be the goal, but it will invariably be the result of practice, practice, practice in a variety of contexts. We will use some manipulatives, build some legos, and a lot more fun activities. If you want to start in advance, practice skip counting over the summer. My personal favorite manipulative for this is Apple Jacks, so when I successfully finish skip counting by whichever number I'm working on, I can eat the Apple Jacks. I find it very motivating to keep myself practicing. We will have test-like evaluations at the beginning of the semester, mid-semester, and at the end of the semester. These are an invaluable learning tool, and will not be pressurized events. Students should already have fully mastered addition. Instructor: Stephenie Stevesn "Ms. Stephenie has been homeschooling her 2 youngest children, Allen and Cooper, since 2019. at that time they were in 2nd and 6th grades. Now they are in 7th and 11th, and can often be found around THE campus. As a family they've been at THE since fall of 2021. She received a Bachelors degree in Specialized Studies in Literature and Drama from Ohio University in 2005, and more recently (December, 2018), she received a Bachelors degree in Genetics with minors in Biotechnology and Microbiology at NC State. Her favorite books to read are Fantasy and Contemporary Literature, but she really will read nearly any fiction, creative non-fiction, or poetry. She is in the process of writing a sci-fi book that she hopes to someday have published. She also has a not-so-secret goal to someday make song parody YouTube videos and have a taco review TikTok channel. When she has free time and is not reading or sampling tacos, she enjoys going to movies, decorating, crafting, and taking care of her massive houseplant collection."
