On July 11, 2020, volunteers from the Irvine Branch of AYLUS hosted its Summer Learning Experience’s fourth math class. Participants in the class consisted of upper elementary school students and the class was conducted through the Zoom platform.
This lesson revolved around the topic of the Pythagorean Theorem and Right Triangles, where students got to learn topics like the theorem itself, inscribed shapes, and special triangles.
Before class, we held office hours. We went through the main lecture and gave them a set of challenging problems to do, encouraging students to pitch in and volunteer to explain. Then, we played a fun-filled Kahoot which combined both quick-wittedness and competitiveness. Lastly, teachers held a debrief to assess how the lesson went. There was no class last week in celebration of Independence Day.
We hope to continue spreading the joy of math through our Summer Learning Experience!
