Setting up a welcoming mindset to learning math at an early age is important. That is why I am offering an alternative curriculum option to parents that are not satisfied with traditional mathematics instruction. Dr. Tapp has developed a curriculum that embeds traditional arithmetic in a much larger context. The result is a deeper understanding of mathematics, with little to no rote memorization.
Topic covered include:
Special activities are planned for each of these subjects. Instruction methods will vary between lecture and a workshop atmosphere.
Please contact me if you have any questions. I have included frequently asked questions below. I am planning other series like this one. Currently I am working on, "Dr. Tapp's geometric playground" and "Dr. Tapp's combinatorial playground." Darren Tapp (tappdarren@gmail.com) 603-486-3029.
Extra information:
This course will meet eight Tuesdays of November and December at 10am until 11:30am. No class is held December 23rd.
Class will meet at The Praxeum which is on the second floor of 299 McDonough in Portsmouth NH.
I am asking $40 for the whole course or $10 for a drop in. Scholarships may be available.
Parents attend free and are expected to stay during the playground activities.
