This is a FUN math class. No lessons are taught, just games to be played! Each week we will tackle a different skill area using digital and/or physical games. If there will be materials to print, I'll post them to the classroom page the morning of the class. Games we play will practice the following skills: Adding and subtracting mentally using regrouping and negative numbers Multiplying and dividing whole numbers and fractions mentally Simplifying and expanding fractions and mixed numbers Real world problem solving using a mix of all four operations. The games we play will be determined by the skills of the class as a whole, so each week can change the dynamic. If it seems the class is unequally divided in skill level, I will create a second section for the advanced learners!
Learning Goals
Students will develop confidence in a relaxed setting with the skills of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing.
When appropriate, students will develop new strategies for problem solving.
Students will have fun with math and with their peers.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hey Outschool families, I'm so glad you found my little corner of Outschool!
I love to teach middle school math to learners here. I work hard to keep learning fun, engaging, and when possible-challenging.
I've been teaching math for more than 2 decades, as a tutor, homeschool teacher, and homeschool mom. My all time favorite branch of mathematics is Geometry because it's so tangible, we can see it around us every day. But I also love the puzzle nature of Algebra and have a way to pass that on to my students.
I believe that every person can be a math person, even if they don't think they are right now. They just need to experience the challenging topics and skills in a way that makes sense to their unique brain. I see every one of my learners as a Unique Math Mind, and it's a privilege and a pleasure to help them see it too.
While I focus on Math, because that's the subject I love most, I am working on some classes that utilize math but aren't math focused. I love to garden and can my produce, so I'm working on something in that area. I'm also a quilter, and there's a TON of math involved with that sewing skill that I'd love to share. Actually, swing in general may pop up here soon.
I also will be adding some life skills classes very soon. My college degree is the brain based background to how we learn and things that make learning a challenge. I am also a late diagnosed ADHD brain, who struggled with a lot of things and developed a lot of skills and strategies that got me through my school years. So I'll be adding some study skills, planning, and journaling classes that will focus on our unique brains and relieving test and school anxiety.
