2nd Grade Math: Foundations of Addition Using Base 10 Blocks
I teach using "Base 10" strategies to give learners visuals and conceptual knowledge of math! Seeing a visual of a number's value through "Base 10 Blocks" gives learners a deeper understanding of their foundational math skills!

Hi there! I am SO excited to learn with you! In this engaging course, “2nd Grade Math: Foundations of Addition Using Base 10 Blocks”, students will develop a firm foundation for place value and number sense before adding. They will develop a deep understanding about what a number is composed of which will set them up for life long math success. Students will be taught using a variety of digital manipulatives, visuals and physical manipulatives called "Base 10 Blocks". This is a very interactive and engaging course where students are constantly doing activities and work to show proof of understanding and clear up any misconceptions. This is a 4 week course designed for 2nd graders to help them develop a strong foundation for adding and eventually building on that foundation by adding 3 digit numbers. Incoming 3rd graders needing an "addition refresher" are welcome as well. Students will learn the foundations of addition using strategies that are taught in typical public school classrooms. The lessons will be structured in the following way: Week 1: Introduction to Place Value Vocabulary (base 10, place value chart, value, cube vs long, etc.) Value of numbers Placing numbers in place value chart Skip counting by 10s "Kahoot" review game Week 2: Representing Numbers in Multiple Ways Review previously taught content Expanded Form Base 10 Form Word Form Number Form "Kahoot" review game Week 3: Introduction to 3 Digit Addition Review previously taught content Start adding 3 digit numbers using strategies taught “I do, we do, you do” practice using place value chart and manipulatives Week 4: Practice 3 Digit Addition Review previously taught content Continue adding 3 digit numbers using strategies taught “I do, we do, you do” practice using place value chart and manipulatives "Kahoot" Review game In order for students to be successful in this class, they should have background knowledge for adding 1 and 2 digit numbers and know basic math facts (ex. 2+7=9). I will teach using a variety of digital manipulatives, physical manipulatives and drawings. My teaching style focuses on being engaging, encouraging and making the learning environment a safe and comfortable place where students know that it’s okay to make mistakes because that is how we learn! As an experienced 2nd grade teacher, I know the value of small group instruction. The needs of your learner will be catered to so much more than in a large classroom setting. Also, getting practice before going into 2nd grade will increase your learners confidence and help them gain a deeper understanding of math. *Learners will need a whiteboard and marker (preferably) or a pencil and paper so they can follow along and do practice problems*
Learning Goals
Students will learn the foundations of addition and use place value strategies to add 3 digit numbers without regrouping by the end of this course.

Parental Guidance
We will use "Kahoot.it", which is a website with game-like practice/review problems. It is extremely user friendly and engaging. Please open a separate tab with "kahoot.it" for your learner so they are ready to go before class. I will give them the code over zoom!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
I am a certified classroom teacher with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. I have taught 2nd grade for 2 years and I completed my internship in 5th grade and Kindergarten classrooms. I am reading endorsed and ESOL endorsed. Being a 2nd grade teacher, I know what math strategies are used in the classroom and what will be expected of your student. I believe small group instruction is incredibly valuable and that by learning 2nd grade concepts early, students will be able to gain a deeper understanding of the content once they are back in the classroom.
