Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Intermediate Level
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.

Students will have plenty of opportunity to ask questions throughout class.  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.
