My 8yo is captivated by origami lately. This morning he showed me a folded paper he made with a triangular prism in it. Origami has been a gateway into thinking about geometry. I showed him this “Geomtric Nets Project Book” & He was excited to picked 5 nets to make after school today. On a side note, the assistant teacher in his class told him that origami was a waste of paper. ☹️ & 😠. How can you tell a kid that his interests are a waste? I am letting him cut and fold away at home. . . . # guidedlearning #guidedlearningstudio #geometry #papernets #geometricnets #origami #elementarymath #mathisfun #playfulmath #handsonlearning #handsonmath #interestbasedlearning #mathenrichment #enrichment #afterschooling #learnathome #learnathomewithmom #mathtutor #handsongeometry #playfullearning #learningthroughplay #papercrafts #papercraftsforkids #makeandcreate

The first lesson of 2020 in the studio is this afternoon. I am excited to begin 2020 with a playful mathematics session. A playful math lesson is one that emphasizes playing with mathematical ideas in engaging, challenging and intriguing ways. 🟣🔷🟩🔶🔻♦️ Today’s lesson will focus on spatial thinking: symmetry, mental rotations, and spatial visualizations. These are key skills to include in math lessons as they help learners develop visualization & problem-solving skills that helps strengthen number sense. . . . #guidedlearning #guidedlearningstudio #playfulpedagogy #playfullearning #learningthroughplay #learningthroughgames #playfulmathematics #spatialreasoning #spatialreasoningskills #oneholepunchpuzzles #foldpunchandcut #foldandcut #foldandcutpaper #elementarymathematics #mathisfun #mathematicsforall #markchubb3 #blokus #qbitz #tutoring #tutoringservices #ahwatukeetutor #enrichment #mathenrichment #learningstudio #learningcenter

🎇 Happy New Year! ✂️ Wising you a year of learning and making. ✏️ We started the New Year by making #starwarssnowflakes My 8yo cut out this #babyyoda snowflake using a template by Anthony Herrera. He recommends having good scissors, a sharp x-acto knife & patience. We found having patience was most important. I really wanted to do the x-acto knife cutting myself but he insisted on doing it himself. When I started spouting warnings and “be careful”..he said I was making him nervous. It was a reminder for me to have confidence in what kids can do. Resolution 1: Invite, encourage and only help when asked. . . . #guidedlearning #guidedlearningstudio ##babyyodasnowflake #makerlife #makersgonnamake #papersnowflakes #starwarsfan #starwarsnerd #ilovebabyyoda #babyyoda💚 #kidcrafts #papercrafts #makerspace #learningspace #craftspace #happyhandshappyheart

A little mid-term math cheat sheet inspo made by my daughter. . In addition to formulas and vocabulary, you can add sample problems to a mid-term test sheet. . . . #guidedlearning #guidedlearningstudio #studyguide #midterms #mathmidterm #mathcheatsheet #prealgebra #prealgebramidterm #studygram #studymotivation #studynotes #mathisfun #mathematics #middleschoolmath #7thgrademath #mathtutor #ahwatukeetutor #learningstudio #tutoringcenter

🔺Gumdrop Shapes🔸 . . I turned a worksheet into a #handsonlearning activity by copying the shape riddles onto an index card adding some gumdrops & toothpicks. This was set up as an #invitationtolearn during a tutoring session. I also added some geometry flash cards for additional shape making ideas. Keeping kids engaged during the approaching holiday season is key to learning progress. . . . #guidedlearning #guidedlearningstudio #learningstudio #elementarymath #elementarygeometry #shapestudy #exploringshapes #noworksheets #handsonmath #mathisfun #tutoring #tutoringbusiness #ahwatukeetutor
