This class meets the NCTM Numbers and Operations standard for Mathematics Grades 3-5: Students will develop an understanding of algebra, problem solving, communication, and representation. Specifically, students will be able to:
•	Represent the idea of a variable as an unknown quantity using a letter or a symbol
•	Develop fluency in adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing whole numbers
•	Select and use various types of reasoning and methods of proof
•	Create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas
•	Apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to solve problems
•	Use the language of mathematics to express mathematical ideas precisely
•	Communicate mathematical thinking coherently and clearly to peers and teachers

I’m so excited to offer this class as both a teacher who is a math nut and as a mom with kids who love math! I am a certified teacher, and in addition to teaching education courses for the local university, I also have experience teaching math to small groups in the elementary classroom and accelerated math (the Hands-On Equations method) to small groups of 2nd through 4th graders. Through my small group teaching experiences and background as a professional educator, I have learned so many great strategies for making early math fun and interactive. I’m looking forward to sharing my enthusiasm and experience with you!
