US Grade 3 - 6
The purpose of this course is to help students discover their Overall Working Math Level and to determine their strengths in Six Strands of Elementary School Mathematical concepts, including Geometry Algebraic Thinking Numbers and Operations Fractions Measurement Probability and Statistics Join me for the Most Important Course and we will discover your strengths and your math needs. Confidence will begin to soar as a result of focusing on those areas in math that seem to slow progress and understanding.! Math is a sequential subject. Let's build your "Math Wall" without any missing bricks! Together, we can do this! The result will be a personalized learning path for students, allowing students to move forward at the appropriate grade level and pace. Diagnostic levels can be used for placement in other courses offered by "Creative, Interactive Elementary Math...Together, We Can Do This!" Courses for 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grade levels are offered, either in a small class setting, or in a private, one-to-one tutorial session. Students will be introduced to my math skill discovery program in the first class meeting, and then, begin exploration and discovery with my help. They will continue 15-20 minutes daily for 1 week. By the second class meeting, future instruction can begin at the precise level that is appropriate for the student after consultation with the parents. This 1 week course will be interactive, fun, and game-like. No prior experience is needed.
Learning Goals
The goal of this course is to establish a student's math working level and to reveal strengths, and possible gaps in learning, allowing parents to have an informed understanding of how their student should move forward in the sequential discipline of mathematics. The natural result of this course will be increased confidence in mathematics by the student. That alone can carry the student learner far!Other Details

Hi, there! My name is Mr. Thurman and I enjoy teaching math. And, at “Math You Can Do” we’re always cooking up some good “recipes” for a tasty math experience! I was a public and private school educator for 36 years, and have experience teaching 3rd through 6th grade math. I was a principal for 5 years too, but I must say, it is much more fun and rewarding to teach. I have undergraduate degrees in music and in elementary education from Western Kentucky University. As well, I have a master's degree in Educational Leadership from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, and a theology degree from Bethany Global University. I am offering math classes for 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th graders because, for the last 20 years of my career, I have been doing just that, working as a math specialist for intermediate students. We will be using a fun math program which allows me to teach you, and then monitor your work when we're not in class together, enabling me to see just where I can best help you until we meet again. I can even communicate with you while you are working between our online classes. And yes, you can and WILL excel in math!! You might even learn to love it! (Conceptual Math producing Efficiency and Accuracy)
If you had asked me when I was your age, students, if I wanted to be a math teacher when I grew up, I would have said, "NO!" I had to work hard at math when I was young, and, to be quite honest, I don't think some of my teachers really knew how best to teach the subject. Here's the big idea I share with my students: LEARNING TAKES PLACE OVER TIME! It can't be rushed...especially with math. Our class motto will be," Learning takes place over time AND it's all about the effort!"
My wife is a music teacher and we have 3 grown daughters. We played music together as a family for many years and performed 45 concerts in 5 countries in Europe. Now, we have 9 grandchildren, 4 boys and 5 girls. I have been a professional musician for many years now and play french horn in Orchestra Kentucky of Bowling Green and we perform lots of concerts. We have a little Yorkie named Sir James Paul McCartney Thurman. We call him Paul and I don't think he knows he's a dog! 😃Reviews
