Lesson 1: Treasure Map (grids) Students will help me create a list of our favorite animals. We will then play a matching game with the listed animals. They will have to help me come up with a way to know what row and column they want me to flip over. We will brainstorm some ideas. I will help them see that using numbers and letters will help us know exactly what card we want to flip. After the matching game, we will locate landmarks on a treasure map using letters and numbers (ex: Volcano...

Week 1Lesson 1Treasure Map (grids)Students will help me create a list of our favorite animals. We will then play a matching game with the listed animals. They will help me come up with a way to know what row and column they want me to flip over. We will brainstorm some ideas. I will help them see that using numbers and letters will help us know exactly what card we want to flip. After the matching game, we will locate landmarks on a treasure map using letters and numbers (ex: Volcano Valley in D1).Lesson 2Place Value and Mystery Number DetectiveI will draw numbered cards from a bag and we will create a number bit-by-bit, saying the number as we go. (ex: 2...24...246...2,469). We will replace numbers as we go and decide if we made the number bigger or smaller, and by how much. Then we will play a mystery number detective game. The students will help me use clues to figure out our mystery numbers.Lesson 3Round to the Nearest 10: Animal StormStudents will learn tips and tricks for rounding to the nearest 10 in a 3 digit number. We will spin an online wheel to find out what number we will be rounding. We will also look at a number sidewalk to find out who is walking on the sidewalk, and which way they should run to get out of the storm based on what number square they are standing on. This will help students see 2 different ways they can round to the nearest 10.Lesson 4How to Read Bar and Picture GraphsGraphs can give us a lot of information! In this class students will look at data through 2 types of graphs: bar and picture. We will look at word problems and plot the data to help visually represent the numbers. The graphs we look at will gradually have more difficult questions.Lesson 5What Can You Buy? Jeopardy GameA jeopardy money game where students earn money and “buy” a digital prize at the end of class. We will be adding and subtracting numbers up to $20.00. Some problems will require regrouping and borrowing. Students should have something to write with and a piece of paper to work out the problems.
The goal of this class is for students to see math in a new and fun way. It doesn't have to be boring! We can have fun while learning (or reviewing) math concepts together.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
