***Students MUST have participated in Hands-On Algebra Lessons 1-3 (or a Hands-On Equations Level 1 course - please message me if this is the case) to join this class.*** This interactive and engaging class builds on what students learned in Lessons 1-3, expanding equations to include negative variables. This 4-class course uses a hands-on approach that allows learners to develop a solid foundation of basic algebraic concepts. In each lesson, students will use manipulatives that they have gathered around the home (no need to buy special math kits, yay!) to set up and solve algebraic equations. After finding a solution, students will learn how to check their work for accuracy. Students will begin with simple equations with a single variable and work their way up to solving complex equations. Class 1 (Lesson 4): Solving Equations with Negative Variables & Making Zero Pairs Class 2 (Lesson 5): Solving Equations with Negative Variables by Removing Zero Pairs Class 3 (Lesson 6): Solving Equations with Negative Variables by Adding Pawns Class 4 (Lesson 7): Solving Equations with Negative Variables by Adding Zero Pairs Learners will be provided with resources that will need to be printed out for each class. The materials required for full participation in the class are the same as Lessons 1-3 with some additional items: -8 identical small objects (same color, same size) from around the house (suggestions: chess pawns, checkers, uncooked tri-color pasta (choose two colors), bobby pins, Lego blocks, cotton balls) -8 identical small objects of a different color than the first 8 objects -black number cards (A-10) pulled from a deck of playing cards

Teacher expertise and credentials
Maryland Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Eighteen years as a public school teacher in Maryland and two years as an Outschool teacher have provided me the opportunity to teach learners from diverse backgrounds with a variety of learning styles. I began my teaching career in elementary school, teaching all subjects and earning my Masters of Education with a certificate in Gifted Education from Johns Hopkins University. Later, I added both Middle School Math: 6-9 and ESOL Pre-K-12 certifications to my professional certificate. Most recently, I taught middle school math, working with both accelerated students and those with Special Education needs. Because of my varied experiences, I have many strategies to help all kinds of learners.
Math is my passion because while there may only be one correct answer, there are often many different ways to solve the same problem. Exploring those different ways and finding a method of solving with which each learner feels most confident is what I love to do. I like to incorporate hands-on strategies, games, and interactive activities into my lessons to make math less scary for reluctant mathematicians and more engaging for everyone.
When I’m not thinking about math, I enjoy baking, cake decorating, drawing, working in my vegetable garden, and sewing. In my spare time, I can be found hiking, kayaking, bird watching, doing a puzzle, or assembling furniture. I look forward to meeting your learner!
