You are welcome to join this class even if you weren’t in quarter 1!  Message me if you’d like a half price one one one session to see my teaching style!

Let's keep our excitement about 5th grade math moving into Quarter 2! This class will become a math community throughout the year! We will encourage each other and cheer each other on as we discuss strategies to solve math problems. We will meet twice weekly to explore and learn fifth grade common core standards. I will begin most classes with a short mini lesson followed by examples. Students will record notes and practice problems in their math notebook. Students will then complete some problems on their own! The chat box, discussion, and interactive whiteboard will be utilized for students to share their problem solving strategies with me and the class. I will use visuals and manipulatives to help explain new concepts as needed. Games will also be used throughout the session to engage learners in the material! Following each live class meeting, homework will be given for students to complete the following day. They will return their homework to me via outschool messages and I will respond to them with feedback to help them fix their mistakes and congratulate them on their hard work! The lesson schedule may change some based on student needs.

Week 2: More dividing decimals. Mixed decimal word problems. 

Week 3:  Equivalent fractions, Simplifying fractions, Converting between proper and improper fractions, Adding fractions with like denominators

Week 4:  Adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators, word problems 

Week 5: Adding and subtracting mixed numbers, multi step word problems 

Week 6: Multiplying fractions with pictures (area model and tape diagrams), word problems 

Week 7: Multiplying fractions and mixed numbers with the standard algorithm, word problems

Week 8: More multiplying mixed numbers, mixed review of quarter 2! Review game! Quarter 2 assessment will be sent following this week. Students may use their notes but no calculator.

I will touch base with the parent to let them know how their child is doing with the topic being learned. I will also provide feedback on homework assignments that students submit to me. This class is capped at six learners to ensure a small group experience for your child! 

This is part 2 of a 4 part year long class! Four learners are needed for this class.
