Yes, practice is necessary when learning any math especially multiplication. However, students need to develop a systematic way to mentally calculate their multiplication facts. In class, our activities and numbers talk will “connect the dots“ and close gaps for fourth and fifth graders that have yet to master their multiplication facts. I will seek out any misconceptions about the concept of multiplication, vocabulary, and multiplication properties and lead students to the correct understanding. Math Intervention is my niche in teaching. Like a detective, we will analyze and strategize how to approach each fact that challenges your student. Therefore, I have limited the size of the class. Take-a-away: Everyone will create a customized foldable(s) to use for future reference and to use during a review activity or game. During the activity/game, students will share which strategy was used to find the product. Note - Since learning comes from repetition, this class can be repeated as often as desired. Games and activities will change. Students will get to decide on the activity. **Financial assistance application for low-income families: https://outschool.com/family-assistance-program#usgToOLmM9 Day 1 Introductions Concept and Fact Check activity / Pre-assessment Fact Strategies /Patterns Discussion with examples and Foldable Day 2 Review and Reinforce / Practice via Game/Activity Wrap-Up

I am an educator at heart, and I have enjoyed sharing knowledge in a manner that others can understand for over 20 years. I approach teaching with a growth mindset. I engage students through games, have the students actually work problems and share their thinking, incorporate their interests, and include life application.

I am a Math Interventionist, and Adjunct Developmental Math Professor. In the past, I have served as a Regional Math Coach (Elementary), taught 2nd Math/Science (on-level and gifted), 3rd grade Math, and worked as a private Math and Reading Interventionist (grades 2 – 12) for several Title I schools, private and faith-based schools. Many of my students received commendations on standardized math tests. Since 2009, the opportunity to teach for a community college has been my delight. The courses include Pre-algebra, Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, and Mathematics for Business and Social Sciences. The class formats include face-to-face, online and hybrid. In addition, I enjoy working with ESL students.
