Each week, we will review a different 6th grade math skill then play a game in order to get some extra practice with the skill of the week. Students will have the opportunity to practice math in a fun, relaxed environment and interact with classmates while participating in engaging games and activities. The first 5 minutes of class, as students join in, they will be presented with a riddle or puzzle to work on. For the next 20 minutes, we will review the topic of the week. Students will be challenged to show what they remember about the topic of the week and then we will practice the skill together. Finally, for the last 20 minutes of class, we will play a game to practice the skill of the week. Games may include Jeopardy, Kahoot, or Blooket among other possibilities. Summer 2022 Schedule: Week of 6/11: Exponents and Order of Operations (Kahoot) Week of 6/19: Comparing and Ordering Integers--bring one six-sided die to class today (Blooket) Week of 6/26: Graphing on the Coordinate Plane (Battleship) Week of 7/3: Multiplying and Dividing Fractions (Jeopardy) Week of 7/10: NO CLASS Week of 7/17: Fractions, Decimals, and Percentages Week of 7/24: Ratios and Rates Week of 7/31: Mean, Median, Mode Week of 8/7: NO CLASS Week of 8/14: Solving One-Step Equations This class is most appropriate for students who have completed 6th grade math and who want and/or need a bit of review before beginning a 7th grade math class or pre-algebra.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Virginia Teaching Certificate in Mathematics
Hello! My name is Carrie and I am excited to share my love of math with students here on Outschool. I believe that building students’ confidence in mathematics is key to their success in future classes. My goal is to help each student gain a full understanding of the prerequisite concepts taught in middle school which will then lead to confidence and success in their high school math courses. I want my students to know that math can be fun and rewarding. I’ve always related solving math problems to completing puzzles: they can be challenging but enjoyable to work through. I hope to share this belief with my students.
Previously, as a public school teacher, I taught several different age groups and subjects. I started in 4th grade and taught all four core subjects. After two years, I chose to try something new and moved to 6th grade. I spent 6 years teaching special education with a focus on math and science. While I loved working with students with special needs, I learned that my true passion was teaching math so I began to teach 7th grade mathematics. I continued to work with students with special needs in my collaborative classes but I also enjoyed working with students of varying levels, including advanced students. Eventually, I decided to leave the public school system and homeschool my high school aged daughter. I also taught my homeschooled nephew 6th grade math as well as pre-algebra. Currently, I am back in the public school system and teach 7th grade math again. I currently hold a Virginia teaching license and am licensed to teach Elementary (PK – 6), General Special Education (K – 12), and Middle School Math (6 – 8).
As an Outschool teacher, I offer full curriculum 6th and 7th grade FLEX math classes. These courses (4 units each) cover all of the topics required for 6th and 7th grade. These courses are designed to be a starting point & guide for homeschooling families. They are also useful for supplementing and enriching the math classes that students enrolled in public schools take.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and our cat, reading, gardening, vacationing, and going to concerts and movies.Reviews
