Math comes to life in this hands-on interactive class designed to show students just
how useful and FUN math can be! Each theme brings a new real-world scenario
where students use math to solve problems, make decisions, and “live” the
experience through role-playing.
From running a mini business to budgeting for toys, students will practice meaningful
math skills in situations they’ll actually encounter one day. We’ll measure, calculate,
compare, plan, build, buy, sell, save, and even negotiate. This class is perfect for
active learners who thrive on doing, creating, and imagining. Through the fun team
challenges and partner activities, students will have opportunities for practical
problem-solving, confidence-building math practice and real-world examples that
make math meaningful.
