This class meets on an ongoing basis twice a week. During our weekly sessions, learners will work toward mastering the following math concepts on a fourth-grade level: Numbers, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Fractions, Decimals, Time, Money and more.
Comprehending mathematics may not come naturally to every student, but it should, at least, be fun and engaging! When students can’t see how math problems will be relevant to them in life, they become less motivated to actually learn the concepts and instead memorize enough just to get a passing grade.
As an educator my goal is to help students find new and innovative ways to actually enjoy what they are learning in the classroom and retain the mathematical concepts.
Math is a very important and fundamental skill that students will need to rely on and be able to apply in their lives. I want to make sure that they have mastered each fundamental skill, not just passed a class.
With there being so many different class sections, we understand that it can sometimes be difficult for parents to keep up with what their learner's class is currently studying. With this in mind, we will provide a newly updated class lesson breakdown on the last day of each month (for the next upcoming month). Below is a sequential outline of the first month's lessons.

This class uses Nearpod which does not require an account or any login information; however, it does require an external link for access. Nearpod is a free program that allows teachers to share their class assignments with students, virtually, so that they can follow along. The only thing your learner will need to do is copy and paste the class link (that will be provided) and enter the class code into the Nearpod website or app (to access the assignment). After they’ve done it once or twice it will be easy peasy. 😊
>>> Each learner will be provided the following resources:
. . . initially - printable anchor charts for referencing
. . . weekly - website links for Nearpod class assignments
. . . weekly - resources for optional extra practice
. . . monthly - a printable progress assessment
>>> Additional Options:
For an extended length of instruction throughout the week,
learners may enroll in both of the 2-day-a-week sections
(Mon/Wed and Tue/Thu) giving them 4 days a week in total.

Parental Guidance
Our math game sessions will be (mostly) cooperative, (highly) interactive and (sometimes) competitive. The learners will have a chance to compete against each other, work collaboratively and earn rewards as they play various math games and activities. Not all students will win whenever we do have competitions. Learners should be able to exhibit good sportsmanship regardless if they win or lose.

Teacher expertise and credentials
My experiences as a home educator and private school teacher have afforded me 10+ years teaching math concepts to students of all ages, including 4th graders. Throughout those years I have developed many ways to make math mastery attainable for learners within the different levels. My all-time favorite way is through gaming.Reviews
