Math Level 5A Singapore Dimensions Curriculum Part 2

The Dimensions Math series is designed to help students learn math by using concrete images, and pictures, then moving to the abstract. Students will learn to think mathematically and rely on learning how to 'do maths', not just memorize math facts. 

If you are unsure of the level of your learner, please take the Diagnostic Assessment class or review the placement tests on the Singapore Math website.

I will use a variety of activities to engage the learner including Google slide presentations, the use of the whiteboard, videos, stories, and the use of manipulatives (like counters).  Students are required to have their own textbook and workbook which are listed in the Supplies section below and available from Singapore Math. I have also listed some possibilities for optional manipulatives. Additional flashcards, activities, and ideas for games at home will be offered.  

Class Expectations:
Each class will cover the lesson or lessons within the textbook (as listed below), a review of homework, the opportunity for questions, and in-class practice. Students should bring their textbooks and pencil to each class. We will be taking notes in class and they may use their workbooks for practice outside of class. Students should also have extra scratch paper. 

Class participation is required. Learners can use the chat or a whiteboard to show their answers or answer verbally. It is through their participation that I can assess if the topic is clear. Learners will be expected to complete the workbook activities that go along with the lesson of the day. It is encouraged to do the homework immediately following the lesson. Homework may be submitted through the class or private chat. If a learner is having an issue with a concept, it is important to not wait for additional help. 

After each class, I will post what we completed during class time and the homework for the day.
