Class Experience

Learners will learn to form single and double digit numbers, basic addition and subtraction using an abacus. Abacus' are more than cute nursery decorations. They can be a great way to visualize math. Don't have an abacus? No problem!

Make your own abacus with beads and pipe cleaner. Follow instruction on this website: https://www.coffeecupsandcrayons.com/how-to-make-an-abacus-at-home/

Each week learners will develop counting and math skills through songs, stories, games, and playing with the abacus. 

Week 1 will focus on learning the order and identifying single and double digit numbers.
Week 2 will review previous lesson and focus on adding single digit numbers.
Week 3 will review previous lessons and focus on subtracting single digit numbers.

As with all my classes, lesson will be taught with energy and humor to make learning fun! I hope I can count on you to join me in class.

As a father to an active 6 year old, I know that learning must be fun. Mastering the numbers prior to Kindergarten puts your child ahead and helps them start off succeeding. I have a BA in Student Ministry with over a decade experience teaching children and teens.  I have been an online teacher for almost 2 years and pride myself on never letting kids get bored yet always be learning.
