Intermediate Level
Welcome to fifth grade math! This series of 4 classes (Fall, Winter I, Winter II, & Spring,) can be used as your student's sole math course for their year or as a supplement to another math class or curriculum. Students should have successfully completed a fourth grade math course. We will work through the Singapore Math Curriculum which is aligned with the Common Core math standards. In addition to Singapore Math, this class will utilize other activities and strategies to teach math such as number talks to improve student number sense, lots of games, and some hands on projects. This class is very interactive providing students plenty of opportunities to talk with me and with partners/groups. Teachers will guide student learning to meet each student where they are at and differentiate their learning. Our classes become small families. It is important for students to come to class on time, ready to participate, with their cameras on and limited distractions around them. Here is a sample schedule of our class. I will adapt this schedule to fit the needs of the learners in each section. Weeks 1 & 2 Decimals to Thousandths Weeks 3 & 4 Four Operations of Decimals Week 5 Decimal Review and Class Project Week 6 & 7 Geometry (Angles, Lines, Triangles, Quadrilaterals Week 8 Geometry Class Project Week 9 Quarter Review Through Games

Teacher expertise and credentials
Our teachers of this class have several years of brick and mortar classroom and virtual classroom experience.
"When I was in school, I fell victim to math phobia and believed I was "bad" at math. Now I pride myself on meeting students where they are at and building their confidence to see they can learn any concept. I have experience in traditional 3rd and 4th grade classrooms teaching math and have seen first hand the difference in student achievement when they build confidence in themselves. This creates a life long love of learning which is even more valuable than the specific skills they will learn in my classroom."
