Many students know how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide; but when faced with a word problem, they may not know which math function to use to find the answer. In this class, several strategies will be explored. Not only will we discover the code words that mean to add, subtract, multiply, or divide; but we will also see what to do when there are no code words, or when there is extraneous information, or when the numbers are so big it's hard to understand. Most of the problems we do together will be very simple in order to build confidence, but the principles will translate into much more difficult problems.
Learning Goals
My goal for your learners is to help them build confidence when faced with a word problem. We will explore several strategies from finding code words and identifying the action to focusing on what is really being asked and doing multi-step problems. The climax will be when they write their own problems because that will mean they truly understand.Other Details

Teacher expertise and credentials
California Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello, my name is Jan Bergesen, but the kids at school call me Ms. B. I've been an elementary school teacher for 35 years. Through the years, I have successfully developed a variety of unique ways of teaching things many children find difficult. Whether it's multiplication facts, math word problems, how to draw a person, how to write a paragraph or essay, learning to do ventriloquism, or even how to juggle, there's nothing I like more than watching learning happen. Did you notice the juggling in that list? I was a national award winning professional clown for 15 years and can share from those experiences as well. With that kind of a background, you know I like to have a fun, lively, creative class! I'm looking forward to helping your child experience the joy of learning.Reviews
