All About Division: A Beginners Course (FLEX)

In this 8 week flexible class, students will dive deeper into division. Students will learn how to solve division problems using equal groups and M&Ms, arrays, repeated subtraction and multiplication. Students will use all of these strategies to solve division word problems. Students will walk away from this class with a better understanding of division and enjoy it!  This class does not meet live. 

You will be sent two videos a week to watch. The first video will be of me explicitly teaching the strategy/concept for that week. The second video your student and I will solve practice problems together of the new concept we learned.  I will also send you one assignment and one game during the week to practice what we have just learned. All assignments will be fun, engaging and interactive.  These activities will come in the form of nearpod, google forms, quizziz and other games.

I will also ask a discussion question each week about what we have learned and students will respond to the question as well as one another. I will also reply to students and join in the conversation. Students can learn a lot from one another, so I encourage you to join in the math conversations!  I will be using slides, whiteboard and manipulatives to teach the lessons. 

Here is an outline of what each week will look like
Day 1- Video- I will explicitly teach the concept and strategy for that week
Day 2-Video- You student and I will practice solving problems together.
Day 3-Activity- In the form of nearpod, google form
Day 4- Game- to practice what we have learned this week
