5Th and 6th Grade Math Remediation

A lot of new information is introduced in 5th grade and then built upon in 6th grade. Students who struggle with number sense, basic facts, and general reasoning skills are overwhelmed in a typical math class because they are missing those skills. 
When I was a regular classroom teacher, I specialized in teaching students with various learning delays and disabilities. 
This class is interactive and hands-on to facilitate working with multiple parts of the brain in order to solidify learning. Students will be expected to have cameras and microphones ready and on during class to facilitate math conversation. 

Each class will focus on a basic skill that fifth and sixth-grade math builds on, mental math skills, and reasoning skills. 
There will also be hands-on activities to accompany each lesson, and it is highly recommended that students have access to a printer for this class. We will be using digital manipulatives such as base ten blocks or counters to facilitate hands on learning. Students are welcome to bring their own base 10 blocks or counters to class if they already have them. 

This is a student-centered course: which means we may spend extra time on certain topics or skip through those already mastered. 

Below are a list of possible topics that will be covered in this class. Topics will be based on student need as demonstrated through an informal pretest given on the first day. 
*Building Number Sense (The Four Operations) 
* Multiplication and Division Skill Practice (Fact Families, Zeros, Writing Remainders as Fractions, and Problem-Solving
* Using the Distributive Property to Multiply 
* Using Multiplication to Solve Division Problems 
*Solving Word Problems (2-digit numbers and multi-step problems) 
* Multiplying Larger Numbers Using the Distributive Property 
* Division of Larger Numbers 
* Solving Word Problems 
*Solving word problems involving fractions 

Please note there will be a heavy emphasis on number relationships and the distributive property because those are skills that are essential for success in later years. 
Disclaimer: I cannot guarantee results; however, if your learner follows along with the activities and participates actively, they will learn something:)
