US Grade 5
Beginner - Advanced Level
In this 12 week course many of the typical 5th grade skills will be covered. Each lesson will be 60 minutes in length and will meet 4 days per week (Monday-Thursday). We will begin by reviewing place value, multiplication, and division. After reviewing skills needed to be successful in this course and future math endeavors, we will begin working on different skills such as fractions, polygons, units of time, area and volume, coordinate grids, order of operations, and we will even venture into algebraic thinking. I have outlined the specific lessons in the class syllabus. I will utilize some online curriculums such as Nearpod and Khan, video clips, games/puzzles, as well as some self created lessons. Lessons will consist of a mixture of teacher/student led discussions and interactions.
Learning Goals
Students will be learning crucial 5th grade skills such as, but not limited to: adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, simplifying decimals and fractions, converting units of time, identifying polygons, etc...

The students I have taught vary in age from PreK to 8th, but I spent 6 consecutive years teaching 5th graders. My students have ranged in ability levels and have spanned the globe reaching 4 different continents. I am also certified and experienced teaching students that have English as their second or other language. I love the challenges and rewards that come with educating kids around the world.
