Are your kids struggling to understand tricky math concepts, or just not interest in learning? Guess what? Your kids are actually learning math all the time, they just don't know how to apply it on paper. Board games, video games, cooking, baking, shopping, drawing, playing, exploring nature. Your kids are already learning important math concepts through all their favourite activities. I can help them make connections between the activities they already enjoy and the math curriculum. Whatever the topic, math should not be boring!

Most Popular Activities:

• Cooking and Baking (perfect for weight and measurement, adding and multiplying fractions, and problem solving) 

• Science Experiments (including lots of explosions: great for weight and measurement, adding and multiplying fractions, problem solving, estimation, probability, and more)

• Magic Tricks & Card Tricks (the coolest way to impress your friends with your math skills: everything from addition and multiplication to exponents and doubling is factored in when designing card tricks, not to mention problem solving, probability, and logic)

• Board Games (Battleship for learning the coordinate plane, Monopoly for economics, Blokus for surface area and volume, as well as hundreds more well-known games, and a variety of games I have custom made to fit the exact concepts the kids want to learn)

• Treasure Hunts/Escape Puzzles (journey to solve clues and math problems in pursuit of a long-lost treasure: catered exactly to each child's learning, a fun mix of puzzle boxes, number locks, and decoding is an exciting way to put math skills to the test)

• Nature Walks (all math begins in nature: in fact, the word calculus means "small stone" and you sure don't find rocks indoors, no, math started outside)

As my high school chemistry teacher would say, "Science isn't just pulling airy fairy numbers out of the sky like math, it's real life!" Science is the explanation of everything around us, and it certainly shouldn't be boring. Science is explosions. Science is frequent moments of "Wow, that's why that works!" Science is asking "What if?" Science is wondering, proposing, experimenting, observing, concluding, and repeat. Baking is a chemical change. Lighting a campfire is a chemical change.
