1 hour per week. Students will receive chess puzzle homework sheets in a PDF format to be printed out. The chess puzzle homework sheets will be discussed in class to make sure all students understand what to do.Assessment
A learner is assessed by understanding the answers on each chess puzzle assignment and knowing how to checkmate to win their games. When a student practices chess at home, with others, or on-line, their skills will increase--this will reflect in their knowledge of the game.Class Experience
US Grade 2 - 5
Beginner Level
The student will learn what it means to put their opponent's King into check (under attack). They will learn the four rules of check--that no King can put himself into a check, no King can move next to another King because he would be putting himself into danger, no piece can move out of the way and expose his own King to danger, and if your King is in check and you touch a piece, that piece must be moved to get the your King out of check. The students will learn the difference between check and checkmate.
Learning Goals
The students will learn the rules to Check (how to attack their opponent's King) and how to not make illegal moves when doing this. They will learn what it means to checkmate and to see what a win looks like.Other Details
Parental Guidance

I am a retired public school teacher of 26 years and currently am a Supervisor of Academic Programming for the Central New York Chess organization on Outschool (https://outschool.com/teachers/CENTRAL-NY-CHESS-INC?usid=wUq7nkLS&signup=true&authTrigger=follow_teacher&follow=true&utm_campaign=share_leader_link). I have taught children and adults in Beginning and Intermediate 1 Chess classes for 23 years in after school programs, summer Chess Camps, online in my Cool Chess classes and now for Central New York Chess. I love to see how Chess helps the brain to think, to make predictions, to sequence, see patterns, etc. I love to see when a student learns how to checkmate and improves upon their game! I teach One Time Cool Chess classes and Private and Multi-Day Classes with Central New York Chess. I enjoy Art, Chess, Scrapbooking, and Travel! I hope to see you in my chess classes soon!Reviews
