Payments for the upcoming week are processed every Sunday. To avoid being charged for upcoming missed lessons, please contact me before the Sunday when payment is processed. Once payment has been processed for a lesson, refunds will not be provided. However, learners will have the opportunity to make up missed lessons. If the course is paid for in full upon enrollment, learners will have the opportunity to make up missed lessons. 4th Grade Math focuses on three key advancements from previous years: (1) developing understanding with multi-digit multiplication and division; (2) developing an understanding of fraction equivalence, and certain cases of fraction addition, subtraction, and multiplication; and (3) understanding that geometric figures can be analyzed and classified based on their properties, including their angle measure and symmetry (fishtanklearning.com). Class Structure: Students will learn and practice a NEW skill each week. Each session will conclude with a summary of what was covered and what's coming next! The class structure is purposed to teach 4th grade math standards. Teaching Style: Student-Centered !!! LOTS of interactive activities, games and discussions !!! Research proves that a student-centered instructional model is key to learning! Interaction Level: Medium to High !!! Students will have an opportunity to engage with me and each other through games, video clips and discussions! It is my first priority to ensure the safety of all students so open chat and open microphone will be limited. All interactive activities are selected to maximize learning while providing a safe environment to do so!
Learning Goals
Students will learn and apply 5th grade standards purposed to prepare them for 6th grade MATH!

Parental Guidance
External resources will be used to enhance learning. These resources will be used during class time via screen share or during independent work time. Some external resources used will require student accounts which will be activated and assigned by the teacher at no additional cost to you. The teacher will assign generic (no personal identifiers) username/passwords for each student. The student will only have access to their generic accounts while enrolled in my course. All external resources have been vetted and approved to be appropriate for learning. Many of these external resources will only be utilized via screen share. However, if an approved tool will be used outside of the Zoom platform you will be notified prior too. External resources are subject to change but the current external resources are: Google Applications.
