Class Structure: We will begin each session with an opening activity.  Students will learn and practice a NEW skills each week.  Each session will conclude with a summary of what was covered and what's coming next!  The class structure is purposed to teach 6th grade math standards.  

Teaching Style:  Student-Centered !!!  LOTS of interactive activities, games and discussions !!!  Research proves that a student-centered instructional model is key to learning!  

Interaction Level:  Medium to High !!!  Students will have an opportunity to engage with me and each other through games, video clips and discussions!  It is my first priority to ensure the safety of all students so open chat and open microphone will be limited.  All interactive activities are selected to maximize learning while providing a safe environment to do so!
