Leader’s Guide
BUNK TIME 20 MIN
Distribute Bunk Time Worksheet 3 to campers. Give campers a moment to stretch or move before settling down to work on their own. Read aloud the directions for the problems and check for understanding. Circulate as campers work, conferring with individuals or small groups as needed.
RANGE OF LEARNERS Increase Access Allow campers to work on a worksheet inside a plastic sleeve or have several copies of the worksheet available, so campers can try out ideas. Increase Challenge Challenge campers to show more than one way to partition the shape for each problem.
Bunk Time Campers work independently as the leader circulates, conferring and checking in.
BRING THE STRENGTH TO LIFE 10 MIN
Read aloud a selection from the Math Hero Reader and have campers follow along, or invite campers to choose a Math Hero from their readers and read on their own. Encourage campers to notice and wonder what makes someone a Math Hero. Campers, are you inspired by the Math Heroes? Explore one of these ideas or one of your own. Then let your creativity flow and express yourself. • Think about a Math Hero who demonstrates one or more of the 7 Strengths. Then imagine that hero with one of the strengths as a superpower! Draw or write a scene where the Math Hero comes to the rescue. • Imagine changing places with a Math Hero for a day. Draw, write, or act out what your day might be like as the hero. What might the hero’s day be like as a Math Camper? • Share a story about a Math Hero in your own life. Tell, draw, write, or act it out. • Work with partners to create and perform a brief skit about a Math Hero. Consider questions like: What challenges did the Math Hero face? What discoveries did the Math Hero make? How might the 7 Strengths help Math Heroes solve problems?
Bring the Strength to Life Campers creatively and collaboratively explore the day’s strength.
Educator Supports Each lesson provides scripted notes in blue to support educators as they work through the lesson activities. These prompts, strategies, and suggestions make the Leader’s Guide intuitive and easy to use.
