This summer … invite math … to breakfast, lunch & dinner!
Free research-based and classroom-tested math activities, in the form of math placemats.
The placemats depict works of math art, that offer a sense of wonder and help children experience the beauty of math concepts and relationships.
In addition to the free self-serve resources below, I am happy to meet with parents via Zoom, to share ideas & experiences, take questions, and discuss.
Also, I have 10 spots available for free, one-to-one math tutoring & enrichment sessions (via Zoom) for students going into grades 6-10, during the summer, fall and winter. This is also a research project. Please see https://imaginethis.ca/math-tutoring/
