Power Math is one of the 6th grade Exploratory wheel classes. Students take a different exploratory each quarter. In Power Math, we explore math ideas in creative ways and work to develop a positive mindset and relationship with math. We play games, do puzzles, look for patterns and new ways of seeing. Power Math is not a second math class or an accelerated or a support class.
Grading is "Pass/Fail." I provide all needed supplies (although some students like to bring their own colored pens/pencils) and participation during class activities is the requirement for passing.
In Power Math, we believe having a Growth Mindset is the best way to learn anything! 📈
The slide below shows our Growth Mindset beliefs. We'll learn more about all of them and more of them together in class.
I'm excited to share ideas with you during this exploratory 😁😁
