Peer-to-Peer Learning
Smart way to teach complex conceptsStudents learn by working together to design and build their own wooden car, then using i as a math manipulative to visualize equations, functions, and problem solving in real time.
Hands-On Learning
Is the solution to boring math classesTeach complex concepts like fractions and algebra through hands-on discovery. Aligned with STEM goals, easy to implement in classroom, after-school and enrichment programs.
Social and Emotional
Learning is essential for every student's to successWe use SEL to teach math and science. The creative process of designing and developing a car promotes, self-awareness, self-management and responsible decision making.
Unlock the Creativity
Unleash a child's desire to learnDriving to Success is a self-contained STEM module. The module focuses on teaching algebra using a wooden car as a mathematical manipulative. The car allows the students to be creative and express their individuality. The students design, construct and then paint/decorate their own car. Creativity is an essential part of mathematics and science that few children are allowed to explore. Once the creative connections are made within the child’s mind, anything is possible.
Hands on Learning
We make learning 3 DimensionalThe Driving to Success STEM module is designed to engage children’s intrinsic curiosity and sense of wonder. The STEM module is designed to provide complexity, without difficulty thus enabling the students to connect math and science to their everyday lives. The easy-to-do, hands-on activity, of designing and building a car will enable them to make learning 3D. They will design, build, experiment, record, and calculate. They will draw their conclusions and master these complex STEM concepts in a fun collaborative way.
