Outcome Introduces beginners to programming fundamentals, focusing on logic, coding, and systems through hands-on Python activities. Students build a strong foundation for further learning. Students learn core skills like problem-solving and pattern recognition by tackling relatable challenges such as optimizing a store checkout line showing how these abilities apply across fields from tech to medicine to the arts. We begin with practical problems before introducing technical concepts, ensuring students grasp the “why” behind what they learn. This hands-on, engaging approach sparks creativity, builds confidence, and equips students with versatile skills for any future path.

6-week session/ 45-minute virtual sessions, that's 4 and 1/2 hours of learning! Sept. 8, 15, 22, 29 Oct. 6 (skip Oct. 13) Oct 20 11:00-11:45am Join our virtual workshops and discover the power of addition and subtraction exploration! This workshop is designed to provide students with a toolbox of visual models and strategies for learning addition and subtraction up to 50. The goal is to move beyond simple memorization of facts, building a deep conceptual understanding that fosters number sense and flexibility. I. Adding and Subtracting with Visuals: Concrete to Abstract We will explore addition and subtraction through a variety of powerful visual models that make these operations tangible and intuitive. Ten Frames: We will use ten frames to help students visualize numbers and to understand the "making a ten" strategy. For example, to solve 8 + 5, we can show 8 in one ten frame and then move 2 from the 5 to complete the ten, leaving 3 in the second ten frame, revealing the sum of 13. Hundred Chart: The hundred chart is an excellent tool for visualizing number relationships and developing strategies like adding or subtracting by 10. We will show how to add 23 + 10 by simply moving down one row on the chart. Base 10 Block Visuals: We will use visuals of base 10 blocks (ones and tens) to represent numbers. Students will compare the place value and understand the magnitude of numbers. II. Multiple Strategies for Flexible Thinking We will highlight that there isn't just one way to solve an addition or subtraction problem. We will explore and practice a variety of strategies to help students develop flexibility and choose the most efficient method. Counting On/Counting Back: We will use a number line to visualize counting on for addition and counting back for subtraction. This strategy is particularly useful for smaller numbers. Making a Ten: As demonstrated with ten frames, this is a powerful strategy for sums over ten. For example, 7 + 6 can be solved as 7 + 3 + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13. Decomposing Numbers: We will show how to break down numbers to make problems easier. For example, to solve 48 - 9, we can decompose the 9 into 8 and 1. We then solve 48 - 8 = 40, and then 40 - 1 = 39. III. The Relationship Between Addition and Subtraction Finally, we will explore the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction. Using the visual models from the first section, we will demonstrate how addition and subtraction "undo" each other. We will use the concept of a "fact family" to show how the numbers 12, 5, and 7 are connected through both addition (5 + 7 = 12) and subtraction (12 - 5 = 7 and 12 - 7 = 5). This understanding is a crucial building block for algebraic thinking and for checking work. By the end of this workshop, students will have a deeper understanding of number relationships and a range of effective visual tools and strategies to help themselves become confident and flexible with addition and subtraction up to 50.

6-week session/ 45-minute virtual sessions, that's 4 and 1/2 hours of learning! Sept. 8, 15, 22, 29 Oct. 6 (skip Oct. 13) Oct 20 9:30-10:15am Join our virtual workshops and discover the power of early number exploration! This workshop is designed to provide students with practical strategies and visual tools for understanding foundational addition and subtraction concepts. The focus will be on developing a deep understanding of numbers and their relationships, rather than just memorizing facts. I. Adding and Subtracting with Visuals: Concrete Representations We will explore addition and subtraction within 10 using engaging and effective visual models. These tools help students move from concrete objects to abstract mathematical thinking. Ten Frames: The ten frame is a foundational tool for building number sense. We will use ten frames to help students visualize numbers and to understand the concept of "making a ten." For example, to solve 7 + 3, we can show 7 dots in the ten frame and see that there are 3 empty spots. Adding 3 more dots fills the frame, visually demonstrating that the sum is 10. Dot Images: We will use dot images (like those found on dice or dominoes) to help students instantly recognize small quantities without counting (subitizing). This skill is crucial for developing fluency with addition and subtraction. For example, by showing a dot image of 5 and a dot image of 3, students can quickly see the total is 8. Other Visuals: We will also explore other simple visuals like finger counting, number lines, and counters to show how different representations can support understanding of the same operation. II. The Relationship Between Addition and Subtraction A core focus of this workshop is the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction. We will use the visual models from the first section to demonstrate how addition and subtraction "undo" each other. Fact Families: We will introduce the concept of a "fact family" to show how three numbers are connected through both addition and subtraction. For example, using the numbers 3, 4, and 7, we can write the following four related equations: 3 + 4 = 7, 4 + 3 = 7, 7 - 3 = 4, and 7 - 4 = 3. Understanding this relationship empowers students to solve problems and check their work. Missing Addends: We will frame subtraction problems as "missing addend" problems. For example, instead of just solving 8 - 3, we can ask, "3 plus what number equals 8?" This encourages students to think about the relationship between the two operations and reinforces the idea of finding a missing part. This workshop will provide students with a solid understanding of foundational number concepts and a toolkit of effective, research-based strategies to help themselves become confident and flexible mathematical thinkers.

6-week session/ 45-minute virtual sessions, that's 4 and 1/2 hours of learning! Oct. 27, Nov. 3, 10, 17, 24, Dec. 1 3:30-4:15pm Join our virtual workshops and discover the power of understanding the concept of multiplication! Key Concepts and Learning Objectives: Conceptualizing Multiplication: We will begin by defining multiplication as repeated addition and as a way to find the total number of items in a set of equal groups. Visual Models for Multiplication: Participants will learn and create various visual models to represent multiplication facts up to 7x7, including: Arrays: Arranging objects in rows and columns to demonstrate the commutative property (a×b=b×a). Area Model: Using grid paper or tiles to visualize multiplication as finding the area of a rectangle. Equal Groups: Drawing or manipulating objects to form a specified number of equal groups. Multiple Strategies for Solving: We will explore a variety of strategies to solve multiplication problems beyond counting one-by-one, such as: Skip Counting: Counting by a given number to find the product. Decomposition: Breaking down a problem into smaller, more manageable parts (e.g., 3×4=3×(2+2)=(3×2)+(3×2)). Properties of Operations: The workshop will introduce the foundational properties of operations and their connection to multiplication: Commutative Property: The order of the factors does not change the product (3×5=5×3). Distributive Property: How multiplication distributes over addition (e.g., 4×5=4×(2+3)=(4×2)+(4×3)).
