Ongoing 3rd Grade Math Review and Test Prep

This ongoing class will review 3rd grade standards over a 17 week period. I have structured this class as ongoing so students can choose to attend a class dealing with their choice of topics. You are free to come and go as desired. Each class will consist of these features:

* Greeting and getting to know you question to foster student connections
*Warm-ups: Number Talks to get those brains thinking and calculating
*Main Lesson: I teach using engaging slides and activities, modeling concepts with real items where possible to make better connections to prior knowledge and make the lesson apply to student's lives
*Practice Time: Students will have time to practice our focus concept while I assist and provide support
*Individual Practice: Students will have the opportunity to practice independently and I will provide directed feedback to ensure students understand the concept taught
* Group game to practice what we have learned in that session.  This also helps me assess the depth of student understanding.

In order to be sure each student receives individual attention and support, I keep the class sizes on the smaller size, with no more than 5 students per session. I find this helps students interact on a more personal level as well.
