Learn God's Characteristics through Math
Summer Math!
What a concept!
Who would purposefully choose to learn math during the summer?
YOU would!
Because this is not like any other math class out there.
About this class:
This class is filled with activities and stories and learning all done in class - no homework.
- This is an eight week pilot class for the whole family. It will take place online (or in person if you can) twice a week for 30 - 45 minutes.
- The cost is $50 per family for all 16 classes.
- We will meet in the mornings every Monday and Wednesday for eight weeks, starting July 2 (skipping the 4th).
Commitment
I'm looking for families that can attend at least 60% of the time (including at least one parent), participate in activities and give feed back after each class on the classes and the overall course.
The purpose of this class
1.
Gain a stronger relationship with, and understanding of God the Father
2.
Turn on the enthusiasm for math
3.
Show personal application for math
4.
Demonstrate that you CAN do math, because it's not just about worksheets (computations)
5.
How to find principles
6.
Find solutions for modern concerns
7.
Create your own problems and find solutions and vice versa.
8.
See and feel how God used Math everywhere!
9.
AND learn all about the geometry of the circle.
Supplies you'll need:
- scrap paper to practice on
- a notebook for notes and vocabulary (composition book) OR plain paper to add to a 3 ring binder
- Math compass
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Scissors
- Printer to print off the activity each week
- Other household items:
- Each lesson may have extra things and you'll get a supply list before class. For example to make a fan you'll need a push pin and a pencil with an eraser. Or for circles you'll need a can or cup and a string.
