🌟Is your learner in need of a boost in mental math skills and math fluency? This ongoing course empowers students to dive into 1- and 2-digit mental math problems, covering all four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. 🤔 Have you been dealing with: ❓Concerns about your child's ability to solve math problems efficiently? ❓Frustration over your child's lack of confidence in math? ❓Worrying about your child falling behind in math compared to peers? ❗️Then, this course is here to help. Students will focus on finding the right answer and growing their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Each math problem presented will unveil multiple solution pathways, encouraging students to think creatively and reason abstractly. Through discussions, modeling, and collaborative activities, students will develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts while building confidence in their abilities. C L A S S B R E A K D O W N : In each session, students will tackle two problems for each operation: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The focus is on mental math, though students can write down their thoughts if needed. Here’s how we approach each problem: 1️⃣Independent Problem Solving—To foster self-reliance, students will have time to solve the problem mentally on their own (with help if needed). 2️⃣Interactive Sharing - We share our answers and discuss strategies collaboratively. 3️⃣Strategy Discussion - We explore various mental math strategies and discuss which are more efficient. T E A C H I N G S T Y L E: - 🌟 Small group or 1:1 guided math talk about mental math strategies. - 🤝 Peer interaction & connection encouraged. - 🧩 Problem-solving exploration for efficient strategies. - 🔍Problems with multiple solution pathways to encourage students to reason abstractly. - 📝 Recorded answers on a shared whiteboard. - 🤔 Guided discussion to deepen understanding.
