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
Students will learn about the different kinds of Draw games in Chess--games that nobody wins, games that end in a tie. They will learn that a Draw game is due to either insufficient material to checkmate or by a Stalemate. The students will learn that they will receive a half point for a Draw game or a Stalemate. They will see different examples of Checkmates, Stalemates, and Draw games. A discussion will also be had about the student not resigning his games because his opponent may not know how to checkmate.
Learning Goals
The students will learn the difference between a Checkmate, Draw game, and a Stalemate. They will understand that you receive one point for a Checkmate and a half point for a Draw or Stalemate.
Other Details

Supply List
Students should have a pencil in class and the chess puzzles printed out, which will be attached in a PDF form in the Classroom.

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!
