The goal of this initial class, Week 1, is simply to introduce and learn the format and interactive program which will be used for an 11 week course.  Students will interact, be able to ask questions and gain experience using my interactive program.  I will introduce all aspects of my one hour per week class period; fact fluency, computational fluency and the specific targeted skills for a particular class, and then explain how students can use their interactive math program to practice what they learn between scheduled classes. The following 10 weeks are detailed in "Class Experience."  Subsequent week courses cover all 5 strands of mathematics: Operations and Algebraic Thinking, Numbers and Base Ten- Whole Numbers and Decimals, Numbers and Base Ten-Fractions, Measurement and Data, and Geometry.  Again, this course can stand alone, provide extra support or be a part of sequential learning, depending on the need or desire. Conceptualization of math topics is always key, producing an outcome of understanding, efficiency and accuracy with computation, using standard algorithms.  Mathematical problem-solving strategies will be taught as well. 

After fact fluency and computation checks (also key learning goals) are completed, the remainder of the class will focus on the concept outlined for the designated week.  Students will develop understanding by working with the teacher.  With my oversight and student/teacher dialogue, the student will be prepared to move forward independently for the assigned homework.  I will monitor student work over the course of the week to ensure that mastery is taking place.  Points of confusion or clarification would be addressed in the next class, if needed.
