In this multi-day course, students will learn, review and practice 4th grade and 5th grade multiplication and division skills, including multiplying multiple-digit numbers by 1-4 digit-numbers, long division and word problems. 

At the beginning of class, the students and teacher will have a discussion about the topic(s) of the week so the teacher can assess the students’ prior knowledge of the subject. 

Throughout the class, the teacher will introduce and teach the topic(s) using the “I Do, We Do, You Do” method. This instructional method starts with the teacher giving an example, followed by the teacher and student solving a problem or completing a task together, then finally, the student is given a problem or task to complete on his/her own, with support given as necessary. All classes will include instruction, practice and application problems (word problems). Homework and review material will be provided after class, but it is optional. 

Because each class builds upon the previous one, students must enroll at the beginning of the course and attend all classes in order to master the topics of the class. 

Here is the schedule for this course:

Multiplication & Division
Week 1 - Multiply 2-Digit Numbers by 1-Digit Numbers
Week 2 - Multiply 3-Digit and 4-Digit Numbers by 1-Digit Numbers
Week 3 - Multiply 2-Digit by 2-Digit Numbers
Week 4 - Multiply 3-Digit by 2-Digit Numbers
Week 5 - Word Problems / Practice Class
Week 6 - Divide Multi-Digit Numbers by 1-Digit Numbers
Week 7 - Divide by 2-Digit Numbers
Week 8 - 2-Digit Divisors and 2- and 3-Digit Quotients
Week 9 - Solve Division Word Problems
Week 10 - Word Problems / Practice & Review Class

Throughout the entire class, many discussion questions will be asked in order to promote critical thinking, to help the students to relate to the lesson and to introduce each topic within the lesson.

This class is best for any student ages 8 to 13, or those students looking to practice the 4th to 5th grade math objectives or skills. Students do not need to know the concepts or topics of the class beforehand. We will learn and review in class. 

The class materials will be presented via Google Slides and screen shared on the teacher's screen only. Learners will need nothing outside of the Outschool Zoom classroom.
