In this ongoing class, we will work together to learn and understand the rules of 4th grade math. We will use video clips, slides, discussion, and games to understand how numbers work. Students will play games and interact with each other and the teacher to practice and master grade-level standards. 

The topics covered will include:
Week of August 7: numbers and operations
Week of August 14: algebraic thinking
Week of August 21: operations in base ten
Week of August 28: place value

Each week of lessons will be independent, so learners can come and go as their schedules permit. We will begin each week with a detailed standards-based discussion and proceed to practice, exercises, and games to use the skills that we are learning. We will not depend on memorization; we will discuss and practice the skills that we are learning so that learners take ownership of their learning and develop true understanding. We will work our way through the grade-level standards; topics will not repeat. 

I have years of experience working with learners with disabilities, so if your learners struggle, this is the place for them. We will work together to create a safe and enjoyable learning environment in which ALL learners achieve and succeed. I encourage parents to reach out and share with me any concerns that they have about their learner's abilities and progress. 

Learners will be provided with class documents to print before class. Please ensure that your learner has their documents for each class meeting. Much of the classwork will be based on these documents. 

Enrollment details: Once you enroll your learner, the enrollment fee will be deducted from your credit card each Sunday unless you stop your subscription. This is easy to do on the Outschool webpage. The payment covers the following week's worth of lessons. Your learner's spot in the course is guaranteed as long as you do not stop your subscription.
