This class will review a great deal of the curriculum that a learner would have covered in a 1st Grade math book. It is meant to be used as a review for learners who will be moving into the 2nd Grade math curriculum next school year. However, if you have a learner who will be moving into the 1st Grade curriculum, next school year, but want a sneak peek (review) before the new school year begins...they are welcome to enroll as well. My general suggestion is that parents start their learner off with reviewing the math curriculum within the previous school year. This way they can take a few weeks to gauge how much their learner has retained. Then, if the learner has mastered those concepts, they can be moved into the next level to review that curriculum and see how well they do with it. During our REVIEW sessions learners will work toward mastering the following math concepts on a 1st grade level: Comparing Numbers, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Time, Money, Measures, Place Value, Rounding and more. I have purposely excluded graphing and geometry because they both stress me out and I want your learners to actually succeed in mastering those two skills. LOL 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 to be able to apply in their lives. I want to make sure that they have mastered each fundamental skill, not just passed a class. > > > AUTUMN SESSION - 11 WEEKS < < < Week of September 3rd: Numbers Week of September 10th: Numbers Week of September 17th: Numbers No Class - - - Sep. 24th - Sep. 30th - - - Autumn Break No Class - - - Oct. 1st - Oct. 7th - - - Autumn Break Week of October 8th: Place Value Week of October 15th: Place Value Week of October 22nd: Place Value Week of October 29th: Counting Week of November 5th: Counting Week of November 12th: Counting Week of November 19th: Addition Week of November 26th: Addition > > > WINTER SESSION - 11 WEEKS < < < Week of December 3rd: Addition Week of December 10th: Subtraction Week of December 17th: Subtraction No Class - - - Dec. 24th - Dec. 30th - - - Winter Break No Class - - - Dec. 31st - Jan. 6th - - - Winter Break Week of January 7th: Subtraction Week of January 14th: Time Week of January 21st: Time Week of January 28th: Time Week of February 4th: Money Week of February 11th: Money Week of February 18th: Money Week of February 25th: Measures > > > SPRING SESSION - 11 WEEKS < < < Week of March 3rd: Measures Week of March 10th: Measures Week of March 17th: Geometry Week of March 24th: Geometry Week of April 1st: Geometry Week of April 7th: Fractions Week of April 14th: Fractions No Class - - - Apr. 21st - Apr. 27th - - - Spring Break No Class - - - Apr. 28th - May 4th - - - Spring Break Week of May 5th: Fractions Week of May 12th: Multiplication Week of May 19th: Multiplication Week of May 26th: Multiplication > > > SUMMER SESSION - 9 WEEKS < < < No Class - - - Jun. 2nd - Jun. 8th - - - Summer Break Week of June 9th: Multi-Skill Review Week of June 16th: Multi-Skill Review Week of June 23rd: Multi-Skill Review No Class - - - Jul. 1st - Jul. 6th - - - Summer Break Week of July 7th: Multi-Skill Review Week of July 14th: Multi-Skill Review Week of July 21st: Multi-Skill Review No Class - - - Jul. 28th - Aug. 3rd - - - Summer Break Week of August 4th: Multi-Skill Review Week of August 11th: Multi-Skill Review Week of August 18th: Multi-Skill Review No Class - - - Aug. 25th - Aug. 31st - - - Summer Break *Multi-Skill Review (will include any 3 or 4 of the math concepts listed in the Autumn, Winter and Spring sessions) **This 1st Grade group session is designed to review the math concepts that we will be practicing.

Parental Guidance
Our group sessions are highly interactive and (sometimes) very competitive. The learners will have a chance to compete against each other (but also work together) each week and earn rewards as they play. Not all students will win. Learners should be able to exhibit good sportsmanship regardless if they win or lose.
In this group the materials will be presented to the learners via an interactive Canva or Google slideshow presentation (shared on the teacher's device, only). No external links will be clicked. No additional websites will be visited. No additional logins are necessary for the learners.
Supply List
Required: - a notebook (for scratch paper and taking notes) - a pack of pencils with erasers - a pencil sharpener Suggested: - access to a printer w/ink (for printing any bonus resources that the instructor MAY provide) - access to a ream of printer paper (for printing any bonus resources that the instructor MAY provide)

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, especially 1st 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.
