Beadology
Strengthen your calculation skills, sharpen spatial reasoning, and build perseverance!
In this hands-on, creative class, your daughter will explore the fascinating intersection of math and art. Each week, students will develop problem-solving skills and frustration tolerance while creating custom beaded designs from scratch.
Using Excel, students will design their own projects, calculate the number of each color bead needed, and place an “order” to bring their design to life. They’ll then use spatial reasoning to build their creations—whether it’s a box, picture frame, or a custom purse—while applying fundamental math concepts like area, volume, and dimensions. You can see past students’ creations here!
Topics covered include multiplication and division, reading and writing equations, fractions, decimals, and essential geometry concepts and vocabulary. This class is perfect for students who may not yet identify as “math people” but are ready to strengthen these critical skills in an engaging, creative way. It is also perfect for students who already identify as “math people” and are looking for a hands-on way to apply and deepen their skills.
The class runs from 4:50 - 6:00 PM. If bundled with Homework Club, students can arrive at 3:45 for homework help or advanced math challenges. Healthy snacks are provided!
Open to grades 5 and above. Limited to 6 spots to ensure personalized instruction.
Girlmath Games
Embrace Strategy, Build Resilience, and Thrive in Collaboration!
In Girlmath Games, students step into the world of strategy through engaging board and card games that sharpen both their mathematical thinking and their social-emotional skills. This class is designed to teach not only strategic gameplay but also how to navigate chance, probability, and logical reasoning in ways that translate beyond the games themselves.
Students will explore a variety of high-quality games—both classics like Rummikub and Clue and modern favorites like Settlers of Catan and Blokus—that challenge their problem-solving abilities, introduce visual models for representing logic scenarios, and encourage pattern recognition. Along the way, they’ll learn to lose gracefully, draw inspiration from others’ strategies, and transform those ideas into their own. By reflecting on outcomes and adapting their approaches, they’ll build perseverance and confidence that extend far beyond the game.
Whether working independently or collaborating in teams, students will discover how to approach challenges with a strategic mindset while fostering connections and healthy competition in a supportive environment.
This class is ideal for grades 6-8 and welcomes both seasoned gamers and those new to strategy games. The experience goes beyond fun—it equips girls with critical skills that are as valuable socially as they are mathematically.
The class runs from 4:50 to 6:00 PM. When bundled with Homework Club, students can arrive at 3:45 to complete homework or enjoy extra time practicing strategy games with friends. Healthy snacks are provided!
Open to grades 6 and above. Limited to 6 spots to ensure personalized instruction.
