Make Sense of Number Sense! Number Sense is the awareness of numbers and their uses in the world around us and forms one of the five NCTM content standards for math. The five standards are: Number Sense, Geometry, Algebra, Data Analysis and Measurement. This course concentrates on Number Sense which is the foundation to a student’s key math abilities. Topics will include: types of numbers, fractions, decimals, integers, order of operations, percents, scientific notation, and more. This class is created using the curriculum for grades 6-8 and is a good prerequisite for Middle School Math, Pre-Algebra, Geometry and Algebra. At the end of this class, students will have notes, art projects, worksheets, and practice problems that can then be used as a reference for future math classes. Lessons are taught by an experienced math teacher, and classes are kept to 8 students or less.

Lessons are taught using google slides and note taking tips are also discussed. Students will have a small amount of work to complete outside of class. More work to reinforce a lesson can/may be given if an individual student needs extra practice. Students should be proficient in basic math computations (adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing) before taking this class. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Learning Goals
At the end of this class students will have a basic understanding of various number systems and will be able to select the appropriate operation to solve math problems. They will be able understand different ways numbers are represented in the real world.

Hello! My name is Mrs. Fox and I am excited to be able to offer classes on Outschool that pertain to my two favorite subjects: Music and Math. I attended Louisiana State University and graduated with a Bachelors in Music Performance and attended the University of Central Florida and graduated with a Masters in Business Administration. I am a musician, a teacher and a business owner. I play the oboe, teach private music lessons and play in many ensembles including the Indian River Pops Orchestra, the Academy Orchestra, the New Gardens Band and the Treasure Coast Wind Ensemble. I also love mathematics and I am a retired math teacher who was certified in Mathematics Grades 6-12. I live with my husband, our son and our pet dog. In each class I will create a meaningful learning experience for each student that will promote curiosity and life long learning. I can't wait to share my knowledge and passion with your student. Hope to see you in class soon! Mrs. FoxReviews
