***I have an ongoing section here! https://outschool.com/classes/jumping-into-6th-grade-math-ongoing-class-mini-lessons-practice-and-games-UdKxyf61?usid=bVITI7nR&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link This is an 8 week class that will meet twice each week to learn topics that are typically taught in 6th grade!!! This is a great class for students to review 6th grade topics over the summer or prepare learners for their sixth grade year! In the first class each week I will do a mini lesson about the new topic along with examples. Next, the students will work to solve some on their own! Students will be encouraged to share their problem solving with the group through discussion, the chat box, and the whiteboard feature on zoom! Pictures and manipulatives such as fraction bars and hundreds blocks will be used to illustrate topics as needed. I will integrate word problems each week as well. In the second meeting of each week game will be used to engage learners in practice of the new skill! Games may include bingo, kahoot, Blooket, Jeopardy, and Pictionary! Week 1 (class 1 and 2): Ratios, ratio tables Week 2 (class 3 and 4): Proportions Week 3 (class 5 and 6): dividing decimals and using division to convert fractions to decimals! Week 4 (class 7 and 8): Multiplying and dividing fractions (with the use of substitution and finding area) Week 5 (class 9 and 10): Plotting integers on a number line, comparing and ordering integers Week 6 (class 11 and 12): Graphing points in all 4 quadrants of the coordinate plane. Week 7 (class 13 and 14): Translating expressions/equations and solving one step equations. Week 8 (class 15 and 16): Finding the area of parallelogram, triangles, and trapezoids.

Hi!! I’m Mrs. Drye. I have a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education from UNC Chapel Hill and a Masters Degree in Middle Grades Math Education from UNC-Charlotte. I was a NC Teaching Fellow and Teacher of the Year when I taught 6th grade math! As a teacher I focus on building relationships with students so that I can help them to build their math confidence. I focus on differentiating learning for each of my students. I can extend learning for some learners while helping others to review a topic that’s tough for them. I encourage students to share their math thinking and guide them in learning new strategies. I also keep class fun and exciting with games, discussion, and songs! I taught 5th and 6th grade for 8 years before deciding to stay home and homeschool my three girls. My daughters are now 10, 8, and almost 6! I enjoy exploring new places, teaching, and exercising!
