This can be used as a stand-alone class, for topic review, or as part of my year-long math curriculum. Topics are introduced at the top of class, so it is perfectly fine to join mid week or in the middle of the session. It is geared toward all math students and supports unique learning styles. Contact me anytime to discuss your student's specific needs. Over two semesters, students will explore a variety of topics, each building upon the previous to ensure a deep understanding of key concepts. We'll move forward at the pace of the learners in the class. This means sometimes moving quicker through content when it comes easily to learners and slowing down when the content is more difficult. Weekly Format: Monday: Recommended skill exercises, posted in class Tuesday: Live Meeting - Introduction to the week's topic Wednesday: Independent practice and optional teacher feedback Thursday: Live Lesson, Review of independent work, and further establish the skill of the week Friday: Homework, review, game, or assessment Class Format: I Do (Live Lesson) During the Core Lesson, students will watch a short lesson of teacher examples. We Do (Worksheets) Students will follow along with the teacher's instructions. You DO (Task Cards) Independent practice will be provided for the remainder of the session. Extra Practice (varies: games, anchor charts, scaffolding, worksheets) The extra practice will continue the work from the previous session. Students will continue to practice the skill at either a basic or advanced level, depending upon their performance over the course of the week. Help When a student needs help, resources are available. The student may view instructions and videos that are attached to each lesson, or they may message the teacher. The teacher will provide either a written or video response to assist with the problem. Feedback On Mondays and Fridays, the teacher will check in on the student's progress for the lesson. For any completed work, the teacher will send feedback regarding the student's performance and provide goals for staying on track.
