Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
👋🏼  Welcome, Mathletes!  👋🏼

Welcome Mathletes!  Does your learner need some extra math review?  Mathletes is a fun way for learners to practice their fifth-grade math skills while enjoying fun games and a social environment.  Your learner will review traditionally difficult fifth-grade skills necessary for 6th-grade success.  We will review fractions, decimals, multiplication, and division during our time together.   We will practice these skills using Nearpod to gamify your child's experience.  This is a great way for learners to continue to practice their math skills while meeting their peers.  Send your learner into their new school year with confidence!  I look forward to meeting your learner.

This summer, we will dive into the world of fifth-grade math, exploring the standards to create a solid foundation. With the power of Nearpod's gamification, learning becomes an engaging experience, igniting your child's passion for math. Your child will receive expert guidance from a certified educator in the comfort of your home, creating a dynamic classroom environment that fosters growth. 


📓 Inside Our Classroom 📓

Each week we will explore a new 5th-grade topic. We reinforce knowledge and skills by beginning with warm-ups to review past topics and ensure a strong foundation. A mini-lesson follows, where we dive deep into the current week's subject, providing students with a comprehensive understanding. To apply what they've learned, we use the effective "I do, we do, you do" approach, allowing for guided practice before transitioning to independent exercises.  We wrap up each session with a student-selected Gimkit game to reinforce multiplication facts. 

Summer is a great time to refresh, strengthen and grow your math skills and strategies!  Mathletes is a fun way for learners to practice their fifth-grade math skills camp while also enjoying fun games and a social environment.  In our time together, we will practice multiplying, dividing, fractions, and more!  These tricky skills are great to practice for a smooth entry into a sixth grade or as a preview for upcoming fifth graders.  


 💻 What is Nearpod  💻

Nearpod, a free program, empowers learners to actively participate in class according to their comfort level. With Nearpod, students can showcase their work, seek assistance or ask questions privately. As an educator, I utilize this platform to share my interactive slideshows, featuring engaging lesson slides and personalized math problems for each student to solve. The real-time nature of Nearpod enables me to observe their problem-solving process, facilitating individualized instruction and personalized guidance. Accessing this program is easy for your child; they simply need to copy the class link provided or enter the code into the Nearpod App, opening up a world of interactive and tailored learning experiences.  If your learner prefers paper and pencil, they can still easily participate in our lessons as all material is viewed on the Zoom screen share.

⭐  We're a Team  ⭐

I encourage you and your learner to reach out at any time with questions or concerns you may have. Let's work together to create a nurturing and successful learning environment where your child can thrive.

🎉  Let's make math magic happen at Mathletes!  🎉
