Beginner Level
As a teacher, I've found that by diving into special interests, you can get a level of "buy in" not usually seen in some students. That's why I created this Among Us themed addition series, to target those kiddos who love everything Among Us. This is a two week course, scheduled over six sessions. We will focus on single digit addition with sums within 20. Students in this Among Us themed class will engage in games and exercises that teach the addition skill and/or reinforce preexisting addition skills. Single step word problem work is also included. Level 1 Class Schedule (Addition with Sums to 20) Class 1: Addition with 0, 1, and 2 Class 2: Addition with 3, 4 and 5 Class 3: Addition with 6, 7, and 8 Class 4: Addition with 9 and 10 Class 5: Addition Word Problems 0 to 10 Class 6: Review of all Previous Classes Homework and assessments can be provided at the request of the parent/caregiver, but are not required portions of the course.
