Description

Class Experience

I believe success in math depends on a child's ability to not only understand numerical concepts, but to be able to apply those strategies to problems by using mathematical thinking.  My approach in this class is to give students the tools they need to be able to solve problems, and then allow them to experiment, fail, and try again until they get the answer.  Throughout the semester, we work on developing strategies, understanding relationships, and building confidence.  As I tell my...

Upon completion of this class, students should be able to:
-Understand expressions and the order of operations
-Divide by 2-digit numbers
-Add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions with fluency
-Find the area of triangles and other complex figures
-Find the volume of cuboids and other shapes

I am a certified elementary teacher who has been teaching hands-on math to young children for over 20 years.  I have taught in a variety of settings, including public school, private school, and homeschool environments.  I have been Math on Outschool for 2 years.

Students will be expected to complete 4-8 pages of homework each week.

I will provide downloadable activity supplies (number cards, recording sheets, etc.) if they are needed for the week's games.  Many of the games require paper/pencil, index cards and dice, so having those on hand will be helpful.

Students are assessed constantly during their work in class.  Throughout the activities, we discuss our thinking and our strategies for approaching problems.
