1 hour per week. For this class, your child will receive one homework assignment each week. The assignments will only reinforce what we have learned in class that week.Assessment
The last week of class we will spend time diving deep into single-step word problems. Each child in class will receive an opportunity to help solve the problem using the skills learned throughout the class. I will also be able to assess the students each week as they complete their homework to see if they need any reinforcement on the skills they reviewed when doing their homework. Each class I will take a few minutes to check their homework and reinforce skills taught in previous classes.Class Experience
US Grade 1 - 2
This course is designed to teach students to break down the information in a word problem in a step-by-step format in addition and subtraction word problems. They will learn how to break apart a word problem using the WIPS model {W-What is the question? / I-What is the important information? / P-What is your plan? / S-How will you solve?}. They will also learn a variety of key words to look for to help them when solving both addition and subtraction word problems.
We will have teacher-guided instruction with student feedback throughout class. The class structure will be as follows:
5 minutes: welcome and introduction to the lesson
15 minutes: class lesson with student interaction
15 minutes: practicing skill learned in the lesson on word problems (we will be using white boards and slide shows when looking at the word problems)
10 minutes: the students will create their own word problem using the information learned in class
5 minutes: student wrap up and good-byesLearning Goals
This three week course will be structured in the following format. By the end of the course, your child will learn that word problems do not have to be overwhelming, but can easily be solved when they break them up into smaller portions and work them step-by-step.
Week 1: The students will participate in finding key words for addition and subtraction and relating them to real-life examples
Week 2: The students will learning steps used to solving a word problem using the (WIPS) model.
WIPS model:
W: what is the question?
I: what information is given?
P: create a plan to solve.
S: solve
Week3: The students will practice solving real-world word addition and subtraction problems using the steps that we learned.Other Details

Teacher expertise and credentials
For the past 10 years I have specialized in teaching math to elementary age students. I have learned that many students get overwhelmed when looking at a word problem and immediately they begin to shut down and tune out the information. I have found that when teaching students to take word problems one step at a time and to analyze the information in the word problem, that they can solve them easily.
My passion is teaching kiddos that math does not have to be overwhelming, but that we can find a way to embrace and love the challenge that math brings to our daily life. Reviews
