3-4 Business Math 2 - TTH $300 - Full STEAM Ahead - Becky Duncan

We aim to bring math to life! Utilizing the Singapore math curriculum, students will delve into 4th grade standards through a blend of hands-on materials, interactive games, and engaging projects. Additional activities will ensure that concepts are also applied to real-world scenarios.

Our focus is on introducing and familiarizing students with key mathematical concepts rather than mastery. Through dynamic instruction, we aim to cultivate a positive attitude towards math, steering clear of frustration and fostering confidence in our students. By presenting topics in a relatable context and providing opportunities for collaborative practice, we empower students to see the practicality and relevance of mathematics in their daily lives.

At home, students will reinforce concepts covered in class through worksheets. We encourage a balanced approach to homework, with approximately 15 minutes of practice per day to prevent burnout. Video tutorials and answer packets are readily accessible through our Canvas platform. To ensure mastery and accuracy, we strongly recommend that students, with parental guidance if necessary, review and correct their work promptly to prevent the reinforcement of incorrect methods.

Our ultimate goal is to instill a lifelong appreciation for mathematics and equip students with the skills and confidence needed to excel in their mathematical journey. Join us as we embark on a math adventure filled with exploration, discovery, and empowerment!

The course fee covers access to a comprehensive course syllabus, a math packet, a parent answer guide, interactive instruction, personalized feedback from instructors, and bi-weekly class meetings.

An Introduction to Becky Duncan:

Hello! I'm Becky Duncan, an art, nature, and science lover raised in the small town of Penryn, California. I attended the local K-8 school, and then Del Oro High School in Loomis where I played soccer and basketball, and tended to my goats, chickens, ducks, dogs, and cats (as I still do today). I studied neurobiology, physiology, and behavior at the University of California, Davis, and went on to obtain my Master of Arts in Science Writing from Johns Hopkins University. While doing graduate courses online, I also earned a certificate in science illustration and began my small art business creating watercolors inspired by nature. I've worked in science education for several years; I had the opportunity to guide students in the Greater Sacramento Area on environmental field trips through a nonprofit organization, and I’ve worked on as a creator and editor on the marketing team for an education company that makes learning equipment for classrooms. I love finding ways to combine art and science, and I try to promote curiosity and kindness in everything I do.

I’m very excited for the privilege to join the Bluedoor community!
