Q1: What’s one way your center makes summer learning fun and engaging for students??
A: The summer is a much different vibe! Everything is a lot more relaxed and considering there is no home work or preparing for tests, a lot of the students like playing math games for a few minutes while here. Math games are a great way to keep mental math sharp and have fun too!
Q2: What’s a moment this summer that reminded you why you love working with students?
A: I was conducting an assessment with a middle school student who made no bones about it, they did not want to be here. "I don't need help in math, it won't help so I don't know why I am here" they said. As we were talking about math and looking at different types of problems, the student had a hard time recalling some things. I mentioned "it is okay, no one remembers everything, it is nobody's fault" and that nothing was wrong with them. The student teared up and I said "you can do this and we can help you if you want", the student nodded their head, and said "yes".
Q3: Why do you think summer is such a powerful time for students to build math skills?
A: I think it is a lot easier for children to learn over the summer. The summer for many is a low stress time, no homework, tests, or juggling a busy school schedule. Because of that, I believe it is easier to absorb new things, not just memorization, but also the conceptual.
