👋🏼 Welcome, Mathletes! 👋🏼 Welcome to Mathletes - discover your learner's true potential and take their learning adventure to new heights! Our program is all about mastery, engagement, and confidence-building, leaving behind any fears of math. During our time together, we will dive into the world of fractions, 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. 📅 Weekly Schedule 📅 🌟 A Mini-lesson video will be posted to teach the content to be completed alongside the Nearpod. 🌟 Independent Nearpod Practice will be posted with a video review to watch after to check for understanding. 🌟 Homework practice pages with a video review to check your work. 📓 Inside Our Classroom 📓 Each week we will explore a new fraction topic. A mini-lesson follows, where we dive deep into the current week's subject, providing students with a comprehensive understanding. Your child will be able to complete their mini-lesson and practice alongside our pre-recorded lesson. 📚 Ongoing Learning Support 📚 To enhance learning beyond the classroom, I offer learners a set of teacher-created printables for five days of additional practice, complementing and reinforcing the lessons to ensure better mastery. Following each class, a YouTube link is provided in the virtual classroom, allowing learners to review the answers and assess their own work. Additionally, throughout the year, I periodically supply printables and notes to support both learners and parents on their learning journey. 💻 What is Nearpod 💻 Nearpod, a free program, empowers learners to participate in class according to their comfort level actively. With Nearpod, students can showcase their work in the virtual classroom. 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 that I can review even without a live meeting. 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 available on the recording. ⭐ 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! 🎉
