In this slower-paced, hands-on course students will review key concepts and ideas that are built upon in 6th grade and on. This course will cover material in a hands-on manner. Each week there will be printable activities for students to follow along with. It is highly recommended that students have access to a printer for this course. Please note students need to have completed 6th grade before enrolling. This is not an exhaustive course, the primary focus is skills students will need to be successful. Each class will follow the following format: Warm Up activity, exploration, and tie in to Middle School Math. This is a high involvement class, so students should come to class with cameras and microphones on in a quiet location.

I am a non traditional teacher, no lectures here!
Instead my classes focus on being:
*Student Centered- they lead the pace
*Critical Thinking -complex tasks are given that may be a bit unusual but will cause students to think deeply
*Problem Solving- word problems to keep concepts in context
*Focus on discovering patterns- patterns is the basis of the study of algebra and higher levels of math thinking
*Students create their understanding versus being told what to think
I am constantly learning how to become a better math teacher! I have a Master's degree in Math Education but I don't believe that means I know everything. In fact I am constantly reading about the brain, and the best ways to teach math. I also am constantly evaluating my classes and content and making changes based on how learners interact with the material.
I have 13 years of experience in Education, and have taught math at all levels including adults.

In my down time, I love hanging with my husband, and two girls. We love to read books, play games and do math together (of course:)
