Math Mastery Made Fun! 4th and 5th Grade Math Skills (On-Going)

In this interactive and engaging on-going class, students will develop understanding towards mastery of math skills typical of 4th and 5th grade levels.  Concepts include multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, and percentages.

Each week, students will explore a different concept that will lead them to an understanding of those concepts. Lessons may include, but are not limited to, PowerPoint presentations, the use of Google Jamboard, Google Slides, Zoom Whiteboard, Flipgrid, whiteboard.fi, and other interactive experiences to engage students, promote whole-class interaction, while allowing for quality instruction and evaluation of student understanding.

All in class apps and experiences will be provided and linked by the teacher within the Outschool class and/or within the Zoom class meeting.
 
This is an ongoing subscription-based class, of which, students will be charged weekly. This class is structured in a way that students may choose to come every week or just the weeks they need more understanding of that concept. Future topics will be added at later dates. 

For each week, have the following supplies available:

Small white board
White board market
Whiteboard eraser (or sock or cloth)
Pencil erasers
Multiplication/Times Table Chart (encouraged for students who are not fluent with their multiplication and division facts)
Highlighters (some students learn best when highlighting or color-coding notes)
