This is a 24-session (12 week) class that is Common Core - aligned and covers the first half of the 5th grade math curriculum. This class is best for students who have finished 4th grade math and will be starting 5th grade math in the Fall. To be successful in this class, students should be fluent in their multiplication & division facts. We will start class each day with a "fun fact" of the day and then a quick "Homework Check-in", clarifying any questions from the previous night's assignment. The lesson will start with a spiral review of previous concept(s) followed by direct instruction of that day's concept and practice. Direct instruction will occur via Power Point presentations and problems from online sources, shared worksheets, and/or on the white board. During class, students will be active in their learning by participating in class discussions and answering questions in the chat, receiving private feedback from me. Class will run for 50 minutes each day - with an additional 10 minutes available immediately after class for students who would like extra practice or help with a concept.

Other Details
Supply List
Students should have a notebook to write down our class work and notes on, as well as use it for their homework problems. Students should use either a pencil or erasable pen to keep their work clear and organized. A dry erase board and marker could also be used. Students will be provided with daily notes that will be available as part of their "5th Grade Math | Fall Semester 1" Welcome Packet once they enroll. Students can either print out the notes or view them as a PDF on their device. Students can paste the daily notes into a notebook as we go and then use following pages for their classwork and homework, or put them in a binder or folder to have as a resource during class. Students will need to access www.khanacademy.org for daily homework. Instructions how to access Khan Academy are in the "5th Grade Math | Fall Semester 1" Welcome Packet and will be on the Outschool Classroom. I will stay after our 1st class to make sure all students have successfully joined our Khan Academy class, so they are set for the first night's homework assignment.
