Each week, students will be given a printable with math problems on the topic. Students will show that they have understood the topic by completing the page correctly. Pages are self-correcting (students fill in the answer to the riddle or joke), so students will be able to check their work right away.Class Experience

Do you like jokes and riddles? Do you like to solve riddles and jokes while doing your math page? Then this class is for you! This self-paced grade 6 math class includes 2 lessons and 2 printables (worksheets) each week, for a total of 8 classes and 8 printables! Each lesson consists of a video that is 8-12 minutes long and a printable. In the video, I will clearly explain the math concept, model the math concept, and give you a time to try the math concept. Parents or children should pause the video at this time, complete the math example, then unpause to watch the steps for the answer. After that, it is independent work time, where you will pause the video to complete the math joke or riddle page. Pages are self-correcting, so you can check your answers with the answer to the joke or riddle as you complete the page. Answers are also shown at the end of the video. All of the riddles and jokes are spring related in this class, and cover sixth grade math standards. The total time for each lesson will range from 20-35 minutes, depending on the pace of your child and the difficulty of the math concept. Concepts included are: lesson 1: Measuring angles lesson 2: Find the missing angles lesson 3: Perimeter and area of squares, rectangles, parallelograms lesson 4: Perimeter and area of right and non-right triangles lesson 5: Perimeter and area of trapezoids lesson 6: Problem solving with area and perimeter lesson 7: Area of complex figures with adding lesson 8: Area of complex figures while subtracting. Direct, explicit instruction and Singapore math methods are used to teach the concepts.
Learning Goals
Students will complete 8 math pages, with a range of 2D geometry topics. Topics include identifying and measuring angles, find missing angles, area and perimeter of squares, rectangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids, as well as areas of complex figures and problem solving with area and perimeter.
