Class Experience

In this 25-minute ongoing class, students will practice solving math word problems at a third grade level.  I will post the word problems for the week at least 24 hours before class starts, so that students can print them for class. We will work together to read the problem, decipher what the question is asking, and determine strategies to solve the problem.  Students will be given quiet work time, and then we will share our answers and how we got them.  At the end of class, students will be rewarded for their hard work with a short, funny video of the week - but the video can only be unlocked by solving all of the problems!

Math topics we will cover include, but are not limited to:
-Multiplication
-Division
-Fractions
-Elapsed Time
-Area and Perimeter
-Multi-Step Word Problems

This class is ideal for ESL students as well as native English speakers!

My teaching style is fun and relaxed, but I also hold my students to high expectations!  Students will work hard and learn a lot, but hopefully have fun at the same time!  I look forward to seeing your child in class!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Jessica McGinn and I am so excited to meet your child!  I graduated in 2008 with my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education, and I hold an Elementary Ed teaching certificate in the state of Florida. I have 10 years of experience as a classroom teacher, where I have taught first through fourth grade. I have also taught English online to children age 4 to 14! I am passionate about teaching and about learning, and I especially love to teach reading!

I believe that all children CAN love to read. Some just haven’t found the right book yet! I hope to inspire children to want to read more, all while teaching them important reading comprehension and writing skills.

I live in sunny Florida with my husband, my two daughters, Ella and Ruthie and our dog, Buddy.

I am so excited to be teaching with Outschool. See you in the classroom!
