In this ongoing course, we will cover the fundamentals of 4th and 5th grade mathematics. For 4th grade students, the topics covered will be basic grade-level concepts. For 5th grade students, these concepts will be excellent review. This course is strategically designed to place a strong emphasis on arithmetic skills to ensure that students continue to develop a solid mathematical foundation. We will practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts as part of each class. *Please note that students should have basic addition and subtraction facts mastered and should be able to demonstrate progress with multiplication and division facts as a prerequisite for this course. The course schedule will be as follows: Week of 2/7/23: Addition of Larger Numbers and Column Addition Week of 2/14/23: Subtraction of Larger Numbers and Subtraction with Zeros Week of 2/21/23: Multi-Digit Multiplication Week of 2/28/23: Long Division with Single and Multi-Digit Divisors Week of 3/7/23: Word Problems Week of 3/14/23: Mean, Median, Mode Week of 3/21/23: Perimeter/Area Week of 3/28/23: Volume Week of 4/4/23: (No Class) Week of 4/11/23: (No Class) Week of 4/18/23: Equivalent Fractions Week of 4/25/12: Proper and Improper Fractions Week of 5/2/23: Fractions: Addition & Subtraction of Like Denominators Week of 5/9/23: Fractions: Addition & Subtraction of Unlike Denominators Week of 5/16/23: Adding/Subtracting Decimals The format of each class will be as follows: 5 minutes: Check-In/Question of the Day 10 minutes: Flashcards/Math Drill Sheet 15 minutes: Math Lesson & Student Practice 5 minutes: Game/Additional Practice

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello there! I am Leslie. I have worked in the field of education, in various capacities, for 15+ years. Currently, I am doing a little teaching mixed with some educational consulting. I am so excited to be on the Outschool platform with you and look forward to getting to know you and your child!
I love math! Math is my specialty. I have spent a significant amount of time in classrooms, working with teachers and students, and pouring over data to understand what works. I understand the components necessary for student success.
Mathematics is a complex subject that includes a variety of topics. It is a subject that is unforgiving. Concepts build upon one another. Mastery of each must be attained for students to be adequately prepared to move forward. A strong foundation of arithmetic mastery must be built early on for students to be successful in higher mathematics, yet many text books and math programs only gloss over these skills. This leaves our students feeling defeated and makes it very difficult. It creates a cycle that is often hard to break.
I want to help with that. I teach through a mastery-based approach and place a strong emphasis on building that sturdy foundation. It is my goal to not just help students understand individual concepts, but to embrace mathematics as a whole and realize that they can do hard things. It lights me up to see a child break through and really begin to master concepts - to develop a confidence that was never thought possible. My desire is to see students confidently pursue excellence - not only in mathematics, but in all that they do. I look forward to the opportunity to come alongside your child!Reviews
