*I highly recommend purchasing "The Ultimate Math Workbook" by IXL for your grade. We will work through this resource. *We will not cover the entire book; just the major concepts. WHY IXL: IXL has been a trusted leader in math education since 1998. Used by more than 14 million students worldwide, IXL is a provider of comprehensive, curriculum-aligned K-12 math content that is proven to help every learner succeed. Each week will consist of activities to improve their math skills and knowledge. Interactive task will be submitted to the teacher and feedback will be provided via Outschool messages. A wonderful benefit of this flex class is that learners can take as much time as they want to review the activities. You can join or leave the class at any time! 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!
