Students will be given addition and subtraction problems (e.g. I spy two cards that have a sum of 10. The students would then find 2-5’s, 6 & 4). The students will learn the difference between sum and difference and which mathematical expression they belong to. They will understand through this game that multiple combinations can equal the same solution. We will begin with introductions, briefly go over the slides, and then go directly into the game of ‘I spy’ with their own deck of cards. I will tell them which cards to set out so that all students have the same set of cards up. This class will have a small PowerPoint to explain the differences of sum/difference, and will give a few examples of how the game will be played. I will play this game alongside the students so that they can see that multiple numbers could give us the same solution. The students will enjoy playing a game of ‘I Spy’ while reviewing or learning addition and subtraction problems. Students should have a basic knowledge of addition and subtraction, this is to focus on a fun review and practice of addition and subtraction. Students may use a calculator if needed.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome! I live in Virginia with my two precious boys Ashton, and Carson and a beloved partner of 17 years; Jeremy. I enjoy traveling, spending time with my kids, learning new things, and I especially enjoy teaching. Teaching has always been a dream of mine and I continue to find different enlightening avenues to fulfill this dream.
I have a Bachelor of Liberal Arts with a concentration in Elementary Education, Associates of Arts & Science, and a certificate in Surgical Technology.
I am a licensed teacher and taught 2nd grade for three years and will be teaching third grade this coming year.
I have experience in teaching students to read, write, and math skills.
I started my career as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), I then received my certificate in Surgical Technology (CST) and worked in the operating room for 5 years. Then I taught the clinical/lab portion of the Surgical Technology program at the community college level. I worked for a short time in a daycare/preschool setting teaching ages 3-5, which lead me to becoming a Special Education Teacher Assistant in an elementary school, teaching children from kindergarten to fifth grade, this position pathed the way for my current job as a public educator. I volunteered with the local Girl Scouts, for about 5 years, as a troop leader for girls ages 5-18.
I am hoping to teach a diverse group of classes touching on different areas of my expertise and career paths. I enjoy being in the classroom and working with all children, Outschool is just a different version of that classroom and I look forward to working with your child(ren) and enjoying a class(es) together here on Outschool.
