What's included

Class Experience

US Grade 7

ln this small class, students can master grade 7 level math, gain confidence and relieve math anxiety.

Twice a week, we will meet to cover the grade 7 curriculum. We will use an interactive whiteboard, and these notes are sent to the student after class.

🐟 We follow along with the Fishtank Learning curriculum (includes Common Core Standards), which is rigorous and problem-based. This program has an excellent track record of preparing students for college and beyond. You can take a look at www.fishtanklearning.com.

The goal of this math program is to help all students see themselves as confident and competent mathematicians who are able to apply their math knowledge both in and out of the classroom as global citizens.

This is how we work:
- students first build community through discussion of non-math topic
- then, the teacher introduces a new concept
- students join in and practice the concept with the teacher
- the teacher has students work individually on questions, and
supports the students as they work on the questions
- homework practice provided after class

I assign home practice after each class. Those students who want to master the concepts will want to complete this work each week. It will take about 30-45 minutes per week.

I am a certified, senior math teacher, dedicated to helping middle school students gain a strong math foundation.

Our lessons are divided into eight units:
Unit 1
Proportional Relationships
Unit 2
Operations With Rational Numbers
Unit 3
Numerical and Algebraic Expressions
Unit 4
Equations and Inequalities
Unit 5
Percent and Scaling
Unit 6
Geometry
Unit 7
Statistics
Unit 8
Probability

☀️ An important note about using Zoom and Videos:

Students are asked to turn on their video for this class. I provide students with opportunities to communicate and discuss their thinking. This improves when we all have our videos on. Seeing student's faces and body language provides me with useful information to inform instruction. Ultimately, this shifts power away from the teacher being the possessor of knowledge to students being the constructors of it.

Class Interaction:
- Teacher and students share an interactive white board
- Guided notes may be provided for each class, just prior to the session
- Handouts with problem sets and answer keys are provided after each class
- Students are encouraged to participate and write on the interactive whiteboard

Learning Goals

Students will learn and/or review important math concepts taught in grade 7.

Other Details

Supply List

Please bring any class notes, if provided beforehand, paper to write on and pencils/erasers.  Students may use a calculator.

External Resources

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Hi, I'm Cheryl 

I can help you with your math homework, improve your math skills, or help you understand a math concept.     

I have helped a lot of kids gain confidence in math.  They say that I'm fun, patient and I understand how they need to be taught.  

My vision is that every child gets the support they need to succeed in math.  Succeeding in math can open a lot of doors.  That's why I say, Math Is Your Path!

I offer a variety of small group classes.  I have tried to give parents choices between one-time, multiday and ongoing classes.  I also private tutor Grades 5-Algebra. I tutor up to grade 11 in Canada, as the curriculum is slightly different. 

CLASSES INCLUDE:
- Algebra 1, Grades 6-8
- Test Prep:  SAT, PSAT
- Become a Multiplication Master- now with NUMBER SENSE 
- Mastering Fractions
- Multiplication and Division Mastery
- Polynomials, PEDMAS, Word Problems
- One:one, Private tutoring - I can fit your schedule

What type of math help does your child need?  I am always adding classes, so please let me know what you'd like me to teach.  Just send me a note about your needs. 

See a class you like but not at a time that works for you? No problem, put a request in and I will see what I can do.

I provide students with the skills and knowledge they will need to succeed in high school, college and beyond.  

I teach high-quality content.  My material is rigorous and meaningful to everyday life.

I requalified as a Senior Math Teacher at the University of Toronto in 2015.  So, I am current regarding math teaching techniques.  My classes are research-based, brain-boosting, and most of the "new" buzz words.  

I follow Fishtank Learning (fishtanklearning.org), a charter school curriculum that has received the highest ratings by EdReports (https://www.edreports.org).   Fishtank Learning prepares students to succeed in college and beyond.  

.........................................................................................

I am an experienced classroom math teacher and hold a professional teaching certificate (University of Toronto) in the province of Ontario, Canada.  

...................................................................................................................................................

I also have a Masters in Business Administration (MBA 2009, University of Calgary).  I have worked for large corporations (pharmaceutical and telecommunications), plus I started my own successful business working with engineers, technicians, scientists.  I have a lot of first-hand experience how math is used in the "real" world. 

.......................................................................................

When I'm not teaching online, I am busy gardening (my passion), playing chef in the kitchen, hiking in the beautiful Rocky Mountains, cycling, or just hanging out with friends.  Cosimo, my cat, likes to check zoom, so don't be surprised if he tries to show off in the middle of a lesson!
