**For a limited time, get half off your first week of class with us. Use code HANDSONMONTESSORI27 for half off this class or check out our other classes at https://outschool.com/teachers/Amy-20200617.** Hands-on learning=Meaningful learning. This class helps students delve deeply into number sense in a hands-on way using physical or printable Montessori manipulatives, creating a firm mathematical foundation from numbers to the billions. Students who truly understand and master math concepts learn to love math, and we want our students to experience math in a hands-on way where they know they can try new things, make mistakes, and learn from them. Each class begins with a routine-oriented calendar time to help build number fluency, confidence, and class relationships. Fun games, hands-on work, and mathematical conversations help engage students and give them a natural way to apply concepts. We work with place value, addition and subtraction with and without regrouping (static and dynamic addition), skip counting, patterns, fractions, telling time, money, data and graphing, probability, basic and advanced multiplication, basic and long division, geometry, and measurement. Every lesson and activity is planned to help students understand and apply what they are learning in a hands-on way! We play games and frequently review so that we are constantly learning new skills while building mastery of older skills. Students need to have the actual manipulatives with them (or a provided printable version) as we work through lessons together. There is a second camera used in class to show the teacher's table so that the students are guided through problems step by step, working toward independence. This class can be used as a 4th grade math class or an advanced 3rd grade math class. Each week of class is unique and students may stay all year or come in for the week they need. This schedule may be adapted to meet specific learner needs: September: Review addition facts within 10 Count by 10s and count sets of dimes Count by 5s and count sets of nickels Count by 25s and count quarters Review dynamic addition and subtraction with Montessori golden beads Create large numbers to the millions with Montessori beads and Infinity Street Review basic multiplication and division with the Montessori boards Count mixed sets of coins October: *No class the week of October 7th-.11th* Spiral review of previous content Review dynamic addition/subtraction with the Montessori stamp game Use mental strategies to solve basic and advanced equations Explore with negative numbers on a number line Round numbers and money Add and subtract money to make change November: Spiral review of previous content Review fractions with pattern block "cookies" Add and subtract simple fractions Explore with equivalent fractions Explore with fractions on a number line and ruler Explore with practical applications for fractions and basic percentages December: Spiral review of previous content Use the Montessori checkerboard to multiply larger factors Practice multiplication with 1 and 2 digit multipliers on paper Multiply greater number by 2 and 5 mentally using doubles January: Spiral review of previous content Divide larger numbers with the stamp game Practice with long division on paper Explore when to multiply and when to divide in real-world situations February: Spiral review of previous content Measure length with a ruler and broken ruler Measure perimeter and area of rectangles (At home, directions for measuring with capacity since we don't want liquids by a computer) Review telling time Tell elapsed time with story problems March: Spiral review of previous content Explore with geometry (including transformations, lines, measuring angles with a protractor, types of triangles, and parts of a circle) April: Spiral review of previous content Explore with estimation strategies and when it is appropriate to estimate Explore with probability and relate to fractions Explore with practical uses for mean, median, and mode May: Spiral review of previous content Explore with surveys, data, and graphing The summer version of this class meets one day a week beginning in Mid-May and running through Mid-August. Here is the link: https://outschool.com/classes/summer-review-hands-on-montessori-inspired-math-level-d-3rd4th-grades-m3YS3dkt?usid=6msWnIQO&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link . Class restarts the last week of August. Class Policies: -All students need to have either printable or physical versions of the manipulatives for the day's lesson to fully participate. -I prefer videos on. Depending on the device, students are often able to tilt their screens to show what they are working on at their tables so I can help them with questions more easily. -I prefer students stay unmuted to help with participation, but sometimes, due to background noise or static from a connection, I may need to mute students and have them unmute to answer questions. -I am happy to share recordings for missed classes. Please make sure you have attended class at least one time to be "verified" so that the OS system will release the recording when requested. -The students and I try very hard to create a supportive and respectful learning community. My students need to treat each other with kindness and respect. Specific plans for the first 4 weeks: Week of August 28th: Review games to check for mastery of facts to 10 Skip counting with coins Week of September 4th: Explore place value with Infinity Street Week of September 11th: Use infinity street to explore standard and expanded form Week of September 18th: Review basic multiplication and division with the Montessori boards
