Fun With First Grade Math: Semester 1 (Worksheets and Bingo Card Included)
What's included
10 live meetings
7 hrs 30 mins in-class hoursHomework
1 hour per week. Each week we may have 1 or 2 problems or a worksheet to do at home. We will discuss this during class. I will send out a homework sheet (if necessary) and we will review the homework at the beginning of the next lesson. Homework is not mandatory but is highly encouraged. It should only take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.Assessment
I will send out feedback to the parents at the end of the semester. I will check in with the parents sooner if the learner is struggling in a specific area. I always welcome questions/comments during the semester.Class Experience
US Grade 1
This semester long course covers the first half of first grade math. My classes are interactive and fun. I like to engage the children and we all problem solve together. I use props, a whiteboard, and fun animated PowerPoint slides during my lessons. I always encourage learner interaction and I check in occasionally with a thumb's up to make sure there are no questions before we proceed. **If you are interested in a section (specific day/time) that has already started, please message me about a discount for the week/s you may have missed** I have 3 different first grade classes listed for semester 1. They are all different formats (per requests from parents) but cover the exact same 10 lessons. You may choose which format works best for your learner. They are as follows: Fun With First Grade Math: Semester 1 (Camp) - meets twice/week for 5 weeks Fun With First Grade Math: Semester 1 - meets once/week for 10 weeks Ongoing First Grade Math: Semester 1 - meets weekly and rotates through the 10 lessons (each lesson is standalone so you may join at any time) The topics for this semester cover: Week 1: Numbers to 50 (count, read, write) Week 2: Understanding place value (ones, tens, bundles) Week 3: Understanding the properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction (commutative property, associative property, identity property of zero) Week 4: Math fact families (numbers to 10) - relationship between addition and subtraction Week 5: Skip counting to 50 (by 2s, 5s, 10s) Week 6: Addition/subtraction within 20 (objects, pictures, number line, counting on) Week 7: Measurement and data (compare lengths, represent and interpret data) Week 8: Time (analog and digital – hour, half hour) Week 9: Money (coins - value, equivalent values) Week 10: Geometry (2D shapes, compose new shapes, halves, quarters, whole) I may send out a worksheet before class. This may include a homework sheet, or a chart/template for the learner to follow along in class. Each week there will be a worksheet that the learner can do at home for homework. It can be completed and uploaded to the classroom or sent to me via email. I may also suggest "extra practice". This work is not required but will give your learner some extra activities for home. We will start each lesson reviewing the homework from the prior week.

Other Details
Supply List
The learners will need to print some worksheets at home. They should always have a notebook and pencil. Blocks of any kind (same length/size, different lengths/colors), and something to count (Cheerios, M&Ms, etc). I will send out an email ahead of time if materials are needed for the next class.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Mount Holyoke College
Hello! My name is Erin Howard. I love teaching young learners. My passion is to help your young learner gain the knowledge and confidence in their basic math skills. My math classes focus on skills such as solving word problems, learning math fact families, place value, telling time, geometry, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
I have my bachelor’s degree from Mount Holyoke College. I have owned a home daycare, privately tutored students in math, and was a teaching assistant in college. I have taught over 8,000 classes online.
My goal is to bring fun, excitement, and passion into my classroom. It is important for young learners to be engaged, actively participate, and enjoy learning. This builds the foundation of how they will view their journey for knowledge in the future. I know I have accomplished this goal when my students continue to return to my classroom, and I see their personal improvement and how proud they are of their progress.
Outside of work, I am a mother of five children, and I have three grandchildren. My children are my pride and joy. My youngest two children are twins. They are nineteen years old and they are sophomores in college. We enjoy cooking, baking, playing with our dog, watching movies, shopping, and taking trips to visit new places.
I look forward to this journey with you and your young learner. I will see you in the classroom.
