Class Experience

This lower elementary math class will help children learn to look for specific words in story problems that will help them more readily solve word problems. We will learn to remove information that is unnecessary, as well as learn which math word problems are missing specific necessary information in order for the word problem to be solved. We will also learn to illustrate the problem, if necessary, in order to see the information in a more concrete way. Once we have solved the problem, we will evaluate our answer to see if it makes sense.

Learning Goals

Students will learn how to solve word problems by looking for specific wording, illustrations, learning to evaluate the problem for irrelevant materials and deciding if the answer makes sense.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Bob Jones University
Hi there! Miss Cindy here! I'm excited to take you into the world of learning, whether that is for an academic subject, such as math, reading, writing or tutoring or a social class which includes public speaking or social interaction. 

TYPICAL CLASS ROUTINE:

Greeting/Get to know you time
Class time, including teaching of given topic and practice of that skill
Closing which may include a puppet, a game, or show and tell, depending on the type of class your learner is taking. My goal is to have every child smiling and excited to return to the next class!


TEACHING CREDENTIALS & STYLE:

Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education
27 years of brick and mortar classroom experience
Four years of experience teaching online
Recognized by Outschool as Outstanding Teacher, Popular Teacher, and Rising Star
Recognized as Teacher of the Year three times in my school
I try to keep students engaged through a mix of hands on teaching and great student interaction. I enjoy learning about each child and making a connection that makes them want to return to class!

PHILOSOPHY OF LEARNING:
Every child is capable of learning, although some may learn in different ways. Making learning fun and working hard to learn produces children who want to learn even more! And isn't that our life goal?! Let's make life-long lovers of learning together!

ABOUT ME:

When I'm not in the classroom, I love to spend time outside walking or working in my yard, reading, or spending time with friends. I also like to bake bread and make cookies. 

Let me know if you have questions or need additional information! I hope to see your learner soon!
