On March 29, 2020, student members of the Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA), Kevin Song and Karen Yang, teamed up and taught 5 kids from West Windsor in the subjects of math.
The 3-hour class offered by GPA members starts with an hour of prep for gathering materials around noon. Then at 3:30-5:30 Karen and Kevin teach Pre-Algebra class. The 5 kids, Kathy, Victor, Claire, Meisu, Claire, are in 5th grade, and being taught Pre-Algebra, including debate, Model UN and presentation.
Beginning with a warmup of listing out the factors of certain numbers, the kids learned what “divisors” are and the relationship of divisors and multiples. We alternated between students doing examples and teachers showing work. The material (divisors and the concepts of how they work) continued with homework being assigned at the end of class. We also tried something new this week of “no notes” and the kids seemed to like it better! Next week we will be online again.
