Interaction in this Flex Class:
Students will receive links to virtual games that they can play.

Each week students will be prompted to share pictures to the classroom of any problems that they have solved using manipulatives.  

Each week students will receive worksheets with time problems that they will turn in to the teacher by the end of the week.  The teacher will check and provide feedback on these worksheets.  

This is a Flex class; therefore, there will be no live meetings. Lessons will be provided via video recording.
