🌟Is your learner in need of a boost in mental math skills and math fluency? This ongoing course empowers students to dive into 1- and 2-digit mental math problems, covering all four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. 🤔 Have you been dealing with: ❓Concerns about your child's ability to solve math problems efficiently? ❓Frustration over your child's lack of confidence in math? ❓Worrying about your child falling behind in math compared to peers? ❗️Then, this course is here to help. Students will focus on finding the right answer and growing their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Each math problem presented will unveil multiple solution pathways, encouraging students to think creatively and reason abstractly. Through discussions, modeling, and collaborative activities, students will develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts while building confidence in their abilities. C L A S S B R E A K D O W N : In each session, students will tackle two problems for each operation: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The focus is on mental math, though students can write down their thoughts if needed. Here’s how we approach each problem: 1️⃣Independent Problem Solving—To foster self-reliance, students will have time to solve the problem mentally on their own (with help if needed). 2️⃣Interactive Sharing - We share our answers and discuss strategies collaboratively. 3️⃣Strategy Discussion - We explore various mental math strategies and discuss which are more efficient. T E A C H I N G S T Y L E: - 🌟 Small group or 1:1 guided math talk about mental math strategies. - 🤝 Peer interaction & connection encouraged. - 🧩 Problem-solving exploration for efficient strategies. - 🔍Problems with multiple solution pathways to encourage students to reason abstractly. - 📝 Recorded answers on a shared whiteboard. - 🤔 Guided discussion to deepen understanding. This class is suitable for students ranging from 2nd to 4th grade, and students should come prepared with a solid grasp of their addition and subtraction facts, along with a basic understanding of multiplication and division. Ready to nurture your child's mathematical growth? Limited slots are available to ensure every voice is heard. Enroll now and embark on an exciting journey toward mastery of mental math and math fluency! Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
