This class comes with handouts! They are supplemental to the class content so please have fun with them prior to or after our lesson. They are located in the welcome message in the classroom. Choose the one(s) that suits your learner best :) If your learner found Counting Critters to be a breeze, they may find Calculating Critters more challenging! They should be able to count in sequential order using one-to-one correspondence to take this class, for example using their finger to count and address each item appropriately as they go. They might be able to count up to 20 without assistance and are becoming proficient at comparing quantities! We will be doing some fun, interactive, and visually appealing activities to get acquainted with composing and decomposing, adding and taking away small numbers, becoming familiar with algebraic symbols and language, and working towards making addition and subtraction sentences. I will be using appealing materials and some funny slides to keep students engaged. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TAGS: Cognition ▪️ Problem solving ▪️ Representation ▪️ Questioning, observing ▪️ Collecting and organizing information ▪️ Reflecting and reaching conclusions ▪️ Communicating findings ▪️ Reasoning logically ▪️ Classifying ▪️ Seriating ▪️ Counting ▪️ Determining quantity ▪️ Comparing quantities ▪️ Representing numbers ▪️ Determining ordinal number and position ▪️ Completing simple number operations Communication, Language, and Literacy ▪️ Verbal and non-verbal communication ▪️ Using English and home language ▪️ Conversing with peers and adults, listening to others ▪️ Using descriptive language to explain, explore and extend ▪️ Enjoying literacy, retelling stories ▪️ Phonological awareness ▪️ Letter recognition ▪️ Matching spoken with written words Social/Emotional ▪️ Making friends ▪️ Conflict resolution and social problem solving skills ▪️ Cooperation ▪️ Empathy ▪️ Perspective-taking ▪️ Identity formation ▪️ Self-esteem/self-efficacy ▪️ Recognizing and expressing emotions ▪️ Regulating attention, emotions, and behaviour ▪️ Positive attitudes towards learning

Hello families!!
My name is Ms. Mel and I teach preschool/kindergarten level math concepts to learners of all ages and abilities on Outschool!
As a certified Ontario p/j teacher with an undergraduate in Early Childhood Development, I'm constantly researching and reflecting on my practice, thinking of ways that I can encourage childrens' self-efficacy and resilience in math learning. I am always thinking: "How can I get this particular concept into this particular mind?" I have deep passion for early growth/development and mental health, and my main priority is ensuring that the students in my online classroom feel welcomed and part of our learning community, and are being equipped with all the necessary tools to be happy, motivated, and resourceful lifelong learners. I do my best to create lessons that are visually appealing and keep my students highly engaged with funny and interesting twists. We LOVE to have fun in my classes and that is our main mission, because we all know how easy it is to learn new things when we're enjoying the process!
Thank you for reading! I feel so lucky that I get to do what I love every day and be part of something that I'm proud of. I can't wait to be a part of your child's growth and success; see you in class!Reviews
