In Part 1 of this year-long FLEX course, we will use place value, exponents, and metric measurements to master the concept of decimal numbers (including adding & subtracting decimals) and relate them to fractions *IXL access included!

Class experience

US Grade 6
Students will be able to demonstrate mastery of the following:
--expressing repeated multiplication in exponential form and vice versa
--using powers of ten to denote place value through expanded and exponential notation
--identifying decimal numbers as fractions written in the base 10 system
--adding and subtracting decimals
--matching metric units to the correct type of measurement
--approximating conversions between metric and U.S. Customary units
--matching metric prefixes to the correct place value compared to the base unit
--converting between metric units using place value
I am a certified teacher ( Grades 1-6) with a Masters in Teaching and over 20 years of classroom, small group and one-on-one experience. Math has been my focus for the past 7 years, and I have taught this specific 6th grade Mastery Math Method for 5 years.
Homework Offered
Homework will be assigned weekly and will consist of 1 or more of the following: -practice problems on Nearpod, Jamboard, Gimkit and/or Blooket, -weekly math scavenger hunt and create-your-own story problems. -assigned sections of IXL math -assigned pages from the optional workbook This homework will be in addition to watching the video slide presentations and completing the other parts of the corresponding Nearpod lessons. The total weekly time students will need to spend working on this class should be around 2-4 hours (1-2 hours on videos and lessons, 1-2 hours on homework) All homework, videos and lessons will be posted to the Outschool Classroom.
2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Ongoing informal assessment through interactive student activities and responses, as well as monitoring student classwork and homework. Weekly lesson quizzes and a final unit test at the end of the session will also be given. Parents, please contact me about the level of assessment and feedback you prefer for your student.
Grades Offered
-Notebook and pencil for taking notes and working problems
-White board and dry-erase marker
-I will post further materials or workbooks needed in the classroom after enrollment (cost of materials will not exceed $50 for the entire year)

Optional (may be helpful to have some of these as visuals/manipulatives if available at home):
For Weeks 1-3: base ten or other math blocks 
For Weeks 3-5: money (variety of coins and paper bills)
For Weeks 6-8: ruler with cm and inches, Meter or yard stick, scale (kitchen, body or any other kind), large liquid measuring cup,1 or 2 liter bottle, pint, quart or gallon containers
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
We will be using the third-party websites listed below that provide interactive, fun opportunities for building mastery and fluency of math concepts and skills:
Nearpod: Educational, interactive tool for presenting my own slide-show lessons and activities (such as matching, drag-and-drop, etc.) I will post a direct link in the Zoom chat that will take students directly into the lesson, they only need to enter their first name or nickname so that I know who is who within the lesson. * No account or personal information needed.
Google Jamboard: A great interactive tool for collaborative learning. I will send a direct link in the Zoom chat that will allow students to enter directly into the specific Jamboard without any kind of sign-up * No account or personal information needed
Blooket and Gimkit: Students love playing these fun, fast-paced games with math question banks that I am able to create and taylor to the needs of the class. The report I see after each game serves as a great informal assessment. I will post a direct link in the Zoom chat, students will simply enter their first name of nickname and begin playing the game. *No account or personal information needed
Google Slides: I will usually use Google Slides to present lessons through the screen share function, but may at times give students the link for activities or games that I have created. *No account or personal information needed
Google Forms: I will use Google Forms to create the Lesson quizzes/tests. Students can complete the quizzes on paper first, and then transfer their answers into the Google Form and submit to me for an easy way to correct and give feedback *Again, no account  or personal information needed
IXL: This is a great site for practicing specific math skills and concepts. As a teacher, I really like it because I can assign specific sections that line up exactly with the concepts/skills we've covered in class, and be able to see students' progress on that skill. I will provide students with individual usernames and passwords, so no family account or personal information will be needed. Most students find the site fun and motivating, but please let me know if your student finds it stressful--I will find an alternative.
