Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Beginner Level
What will be taught? Students will learn essential middle school geometry concepts using Humble Math 100 Days of Geometry, covering foundational topics to build a strong understanding of shapes, measurements, and spatial reasoning.

What topics will you cover? The course will cover topics such as angles, polygons, area, perimeter, volume, and coordinate geometry. It will also include practice with concepts like congruence, transformations, and basic problem-solving strategies.

How is your class structured? The class is structured into interactive sessions that blend direct instruction, guided practice, and independent activities. Each session will focus on a specific topic, with time for skill-building exercises, real-world application problems, and review.

How will you teach? I will teach using a combination of engaging slides, guided notes, and live demonstrations. Lessons will include hands-on activities, visual aids, and practice questions from the Humble Math curriculum. I’ll also use quizzes and interactive games to reinforce learning.

What's your teaching style? My teaching style is supportive, interactive, and student-focused. I strive to make math relatable and enjoyable by fostering a positive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and participating.

How much will learners get to interact with you? Learners will have various opportunities for interaction, including direct instruction through lectures, discussions for clarifying questions, collaborative problem-solving, and participation in fun math games and activities. Video clips and slides will enhance understanding, while live feedback and Q&A sessions ensure personalized support.
Learning Goals
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to confidently use key geometry skills, like measuring angles, finding the area and perimeter of shapes, and understanding the properties of polygons.

External resources will be used to enhance learning. These resources will be used during class time via screen share or during independent work time. Some external resources used will require student accounts which will be activated and assigned by the teacher at no additional cost to you.
