All using world-renowned Singapore Math methods! This course is designed to give Kindergarteners and 1st Graders advanced skills, so they no longer struggle with basic math and have more arithmetic fluency required in 1st grade and beyond🚀 ================================== 🧮 WHY SINGAORE MATH METHODS? 🧮 Singapore Math methods give learners a methodical advantage! It's a proven approach that focuses on DEEP understanding and STRONG number sense. It helps students build a solid foundation in problem-solving, so they don’t just memorize steps but really grasp math concepts. These methods improve their speed, fluency (and confidence!) —giving learners the tools to tackle more complex math challenges! ================================== This live math bridge & boost course is specifically designed for kindergarten & first grade learners who: ✔ Have noticeable gaps in their addition and subtraction skills (e.g., relying on fingers for every problem). ✔ Lack a strong enough math foundation. ✔ Need quicker arithmetic skills for greater math challenges— for years ahead. ✔ Need extra support in foundational math concepts. ✔ Kindergarteners needing to speed up as they prepare to begin 1st Grade. ✔ 1st graders needing to slow down to rebuild their mathematical foundation before they move into 2nd Grade. ✔ Could benefit from a small group setting! ================================== 🎢 CLASS STRUCTURE 🎢 This course takes a classroom and group tutoring approach! We meet (3) days a week, for 45 minutes, with each class building upon the previous. 🔍 Class: We kick off each session with fun, fast-paced math drills. Then dive into the heart of the lesson, exploring key concepts and building new skills, step by step. We wrap up lessons with group practice 🚀 🔍 Assessments: ('Show What You Know Days 🎉') are held after every major chapter is completed. These are very low pressure, assessments to check for student mastery - based on the Singapore Math Tests structure. ***Please see the class Syllabus for lesson-by-lesson details!*** 📅 Week of March 9th NO CLASS (*you will not be charged)📅 📅 Week of April 20th NO CLASS (*you will not be charged) 📅 ================================== 🎬 CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS 🎬 ⇢ Keep cameras on for safety and engagement (I may mute/unmute for focus purposes) ⇢ Parents are welcome to be available for learner support, but should stay off camera. ⇢ Bring your energy—math is fun! 😊 ================================== 📝ADDITIONAL MATERIAL📝 ✔ Pencil + crayons ✔ Notebook ✔ Mini whiteboard and dry-erase marker ✔ Print-At-Home Assessments (sent prior to) ================================== Think I covered everything, but if you have more questions about this course, send me a message!
