What's included
2 live meetings
1 hrs 50 mins in-class hours per weekHomework
1-2 hours per week. An assignment will be assigned on days with no live meetings. A weekly quiz will be available on Friday. The data from these assignments and tests will drive instruction. Homework should not be a source of major stress. If the daily assignments are taking more than an hour to complete or causing undue stress, please contact me and we can make adjustments. Mini video lessons will be provided for review on days with no live class. I will also monitor the classroom discussion board throughout the day. If daily assignments don't fit your schedule, or schooling style, please do what you can and focus on completing the Friday quiz to be turned in prior to Mondays class.Grading
If a student is keeping up on the weekly quizzes, or at least the weekly quizzes, a progress report can be provided at regular report card intervals (prior to winter, spring and summer breaks), by request.Class Experience
US Grade 3
Beginner Level
This class covers all 3rd grade math standards. It meets two days a week and has optional homework and a Friday quiz. Home work is posted in the classroom as a link to a google form. The form will be imbedded with "hint" videos. Students can watch the videos as needed. Now with summer review. Keep your math skills sharp for 4th grade. Summer schedule available at the bottom of the the description. The first day of the week is new instruction. The second day is review for the weekly test on Friday. The second day of instruction will be driven by data collected from daily assignments. These assignments will be made available in the Outschool Classroom page on days between live classes. I will post a link to an interactive document. Follow the link, fill out the form, click submit. No printing, emailing or posting necessary. The class structure will consist of a mini lesson, group guided practice and individual practice. Questions are encouraged at all points in the lesson. This cycle may repeat depending on the number of topics for the day. I encourage questions. I don't believe I have taught until the student has learned. We all make mistakes. Making mistakes is part of how we learn. In this class, we are all here to encourage and support each others math experience. The following schedule is subject to revision depending on overall student progress. Some topics may be extended to provide additional practice.
