Please note: class may go over the estimated scheduled time. It is best for learners to start at the beginning of the listed math concept/topic. However, if you feel that your learner can benefit from jumping right in, feel free. Please see schedule. This class will allow learners to practice grade 4 concepts from the math curriculum. Please read the class description to see if this class is a good fit for your learner. Materials will be posted Monday mornings. Please have materials ready before the start of class. ** Please note: class may run over 40 minutes depending on learners needs. Each lesson will have the same format: * Warm up: we will do a math warm up to help turn on our minds to get ready for the lesson. Math questions will be displayed on a google slide. Students are encouraged to share their thinking with the class. Our warm ups are focused on grade 4 level subtraction, addition, multiplication, division and/or fraction concepts. Warm up helps students get their minds ready to learn and reinforce several math concepts. * Lesson: I will teach a lesson to the class. We will work together using manipulatives and powerpoint presentations. (Please note, I include a paper copy of manipulatives. However, some of our units will not require manipulatives). Students will “Watch Me First”, explaining a concept and work through a problem. Then through guided practice, students will work through the material with me. Students will be provided with a worksheet to record their thinking as we engage in the lesson. We will be using various types of manipulatives. Please note: depending on the math concept, there may be no manipulatives. * Independent work: Students will work on assigned work with support from me. Students will be provided with a worksheet. We will go over the work together. Students are encouraged to share their thinking with the class. * Reflection: Students will reflect on their thinking and how they feel about the math topic. * Game or activity to support math concept * Extension: Students will be provided with an extension activity that he or she can complete on their own time. Extension activities are a support for learning outside of class time. These activities are not evaluated by me.
