๐๐ผ Welcome, Mathletes! ๐๐ผ Welcome to Mathletes โ where your learnerโs math journey begins! Our program focuses on mastery, engagement, and confidence-building, ensuring that your child develops a strong foundation in math while leaving any fears behind. Whether your child is homeschooled or in a traditional classroom, we foster a cooperative and supportive learning environment where all learners can thrive. This year, we will explore 8th-grade math concepts, diving deep into the standards to create a solid foundation for success. With Nearpodโs gamification, learning will be engaging and fun, igniting your child's passion for math. Your child will receive expert guidance from a certified educator in the comfort of your home. ๐ Inside Our Classroom ๐ Each week, weโll explore a new 8th-grade topic, starting with warm-ups to review prior knowledge and ensure a strong foundation. After a mini-lesson, learners will apply what theyโve learned using the โI do, we do, you doโ method, moving from guided practice to independent work. We wrap up each session with a student-selected Gimkit game to reinforce key concepts. ๐ Ongoing Learning Support ๐ To support learning beyond the classroom, I provide teacher-created printables for 5 days of practice, helping reinforce the lessons and ensure better mastery. Following each class, a YouTube review link will be shared for learners to self-assess. Additionally, I periodically provide printables and notes to support both learners and parents on their journey. ๐ป What is Nearpod? ๐ป Nearpod is an interactive learning platform that allows students to engage with the lesson at their own comfort level. They can showcase their work, ask questions, and receive real-time feedback. I use Nearpod to share interactive slideshows, personalized math problems, and more. Learners simply need to copy the class link or enter the Nearpod app code to begin. They can also participate with paper and pencil while engaging with lessons on Zoom screen share. โญ Weโre a Team! โญ Each month, Iโll share a newsletter with updates, weekly topics, and tips to help you support your child at home. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions or concerns โ letโs work together to create a nurturing environment where your child can thrive! ๐ Letโs make math magic happen at Mathletes! ๐ Enroll today to help your learner master 8th-grade math! ๐ ๐ 2024-2025 School Year Schedule ๐ ๐ No Classes on: September 2nd (Labor Day) October 31st (Evening) November 25th-29th (Fall Break) December 23rd-31st (Winter Break) January 1st-3rd (Winter Break) February 17th April 14th-18th (Spring Break) May 26th (Memorial Day) Last Week of Classes: June 2nd! ๐ 2025-2026 School Year ๐ ๐ No Classes on: September 1st (Labor Day) October (None) November 24th-28th (Fall Break) December 22nd-31st (Winter Break) January 1st-2nd (Winter Break) February (None) March (None) April 6th-10th (Spring Break) May 25th (Memorial Day) Last week of classes: June 1st! โ๏ธ Curriculum by Module โ๏ธ Module 1: Real Numbers & Exponents Module 2: Expressions & Equations Module 3: Linear & Functional Relationships Module 4: Systems of Equations Module 5: Patterns & Bivariate Data Module 6: Congruency & Similarity Module 7: Geometry
