Assessment
On-going assessment by the teacher will inform the types of math questions presented during the lesson. If students are grasping the concept quickly, questions will increase in difficulty. If students are struggling, more time will be given with the strategy.

Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 4
Everyone can learn math!  During this live video chat, students will interact with both the teacher and other students to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems.  Students will break apart numbers and develop strategies to solve mental math questions. Math problems are strategically chosen to focus on building specific strategies each session. This class will focus on sharing math thinking in a safe space with an emphasis on making sense of mathematics.  We will draw out student thinking to allow students "see" the math, make connections and deepen their understanding of number.  Studies show that memorization and drills don't work for all students.  When students understand numbers...they have the skills to solve problems in a way that makes sense to them.  Students will build a math mindset that will give them the confidence to be the best that they can be!
Learning Goals
Students will develop mental math strategies to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems.  Strategies include friendly numbers, doubling and halving, breaking numbers into place value, adding up, adjusting numbers, partial products/quotients, multiplying up, and proportional reasoning.
