3rd Grade Math

Designed specifically for third-graders, this class will help students master key math concepts and skills. Class size is limited to ensure there is plenty of interaction and meaningful feedback for each learner.  

Each week, students will receive worksheets This class will incorporate hands-on activities, group discussions, and games to make learning engaging and fun. 

Each week I will introduce the concept and we will use our whiteboard and/or paper as I teach and students demonstrate their understanding of the skill. I try to ask questions and have students discuss the concept so that they have a deep understanding.  

EXPERIENCE
      At the beginning of class we will always start with quick community building activity (1-2 minutes), so that students interact and get ready to learn. Next we will tackle the math topic of the week.  Each lesson begins with a "Watch and Learn" activity where I will model the skill for the lesson. Next we will do the skill together and then students will have a chance to do the skill independently during class. During this time I will give feedback and correct any misunderstandings or extend their learning if they understand the concept.  

 MATERIALS and EXTRA PRACTICE
     Students MUST have a small handheld whiteboard and access to a printer to fully participate in class. Parents will also receive additional optional activities their child can do at home to extend their learning and check their progress. Students should also have a small pencil box with common supplies such as pencils, erasers to use during class. 
      I also use Google Forms for students to answer questions electronically and where they will get immediate feedback. I utilize these forms at the end of class to check for understanding and for students to quickly assess their own knowledge. We will also being using Kahoot to play games during and after class. Students do not need a login for either digital resource. 
   I am a former math interventionist with a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Design.

I aim to foster a relationship with my students and their families to make certain all my students are successful.
