Class Experience

US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 1
Students will delve deeply into number sense in a hands-on way using physical or printable Montessori manipulatives, creating a firm mathematical foundation for numbers 1-10.  Students who understand math learn to love math, and I want my students to experience math in a hands-on way where they know they can try new things, make mistakes, and learn from them.  There are recorded lessons, followed by games for the learners to practice what is introduced with a math grown up helper.  This practice is essential, so please plan on having a time set aside to work on the games together.  These games can be played different ways with a helper to practice skills in a fun and interactive way!  There are also a challenge worksheet with a Math Mission for students to work on and share!  Students need to have the actual manipulatives with them (or a printable version) as we work through these 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 is a very low-tech class, with no screen sharing.  We are actually doing the math together with our own hands!  There are no live meetings.
