US Grade 4 - 6
The class will be structured into two sections: learning strategies for solving word problems and then applied practice. The word problems can be solved using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. We will go through several questions step-by-step in order to solve them together before students practise on their own. An example of a strategy we will use is highlighting key terms and determining how to know which operation is needed to solve the problem using specific vocabulary terms e.g., rates, times, or areas in the question mean multiplication is needed to solve it. For applied, hands-on practice questions, students will be using Google Jamboard.
Learning Goals
Student learning goals:
To be able to recognize when addition, subtraction, multiplication or division is needed to solve a word problem.

Instructional design and media studies are interests of mine.
My classes are about essential academic skills, building up a toolkit of strategies to use in core subjects, resiliency, and overcoming obstacles which prevent you from doing your best in school.
I love to read, write and connect with others online. I have taught in elementary and high schools for ten years. I have taught English, French, Math and Science.
In my spare time I practice yoga and enjoy hiking in the forest. Other activities I find fun include snowboarding, playing video games and gardening.
