Ready to decompose numbers, Subtraction Superheroes? Get Ready to Take Away! Join our fun-filled Math Workshop Session where we'll become subtraction experts! Learn all about "taking apart" and "taking from" with amazing objects, your own fingers, by acting out subtraction stories, and exploring a host of subtraction strategies to use that make sense! Some of the subtraction strategies we will explore: adding up, removing or counting back, place value, keeping a constant distant, and adjusting one number to create an easier problem. We'll solve exciting subtraction word problems and become subtraction stars. Discover how to break down numbers in lots of different ways. Let's build on what we know about addition to make a case for the connection to subtraction. Plus, we'll find those special number partners that make 10 and 100. And guess what? Let's subtract, explore, and become number whizzes together!

Uncover the world of chance! This exciting Math Workshop Session is designed for 5th and 6th graders to introduce the fundamental concepts of probability. Through hands-on experiments and interactive activities, we’ll learn how to analyze the likelihood of events in everyday life. We’re also going to throw in some Algebra for fun! What We’ll Explore: What is Probability? We’ll begin by exploring the basic concepts of probability, including defining events, outcomes, and sample spaces. Theoretical vs. Experimental Probability: We’ll use experiments with coins, dice, and spinners to understand the difference between theoretical and experimental probability. Exploring Probability with Games: We’ll use games to explore how probability is used in everyday situations Probability in Real Life: We’ll explore how probability is used in everyday situations, such as weather forecasting, games, and decision-making. We’ll also learn about the concept of chance and how it affects our lives. Pattern Quest: Unveiling Relationships: Algebra is all about patterns! We’ll investigate number patterns, identify relationships, and learn how to represent them with algebraic rules and tables.

Get ready to measure up and dive into data in this exciting Math Workshop Session! We’ll learn to collect, organize, and interpret information, and use our measurement skills to explore the world around us. We’ll apply our understanding of measurement to solve problems involving distance, time, liquid volumes, mass, and money. We’ll explore different units of measurement within the same system. We’ll learn to tell time to the nearest minute and solve problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals. We’ll measure lengths using rulers and explore different units of measurement. We’ll work with liquid volumes and masses, learning to estimate and measure them. We’ll create and interpret scaled bar graphs to represent data. We’ll learn to represent and interpret data using line plots. Come join us and have fun!
