In this ongoing math class, students will learn skills that will prepare them to understand various math concepts that are taught in first grade and expanded upon more in depth in further grades. Each week we will meet to cover a different skill using games, activities, and example problems. The first half of the session will serve as the introduction to the skill, the second will be the practice portion. The skills that will be covered are below.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello!
My name is Sydney Walden and I am 25 years old. I have been in the Early Childhood Education field for over 3 years and I am certified in EC-6 Generalist, ESL, and Special Education. I have many passions including exercise, reading, writing, and teaching! I am very excited to be able to share my passion for social skills, games, exercise and academics with your young learners. Being a young teacher, I bring to the classroom a plethora of new and inventive strategies to teach with technology resources as well as strategies to encourage my students to be as successful and engaged as possible. I truly have a heart for the children and believe that I have a specially designed purpose in the education system. I love teaching curriculum, but I also really enjoy developing relationships with my students and encouraging them to become amazing people in our society. I feel that children learn best when what they are learning is based around their interests!
I was born and raised in Texas, graduated from Texas A&M University, and now live in Chicago! My husband is in the Navy, which allows us to move around often and experience new places. I am a brand new mom to a little girl, who was the first baby born in Chicago on New Years Day in 2021! These are just a few reasons why I am pursing this opportunity, as I feel it would be an amazing fit for our family's lifestyle.Reviews
