In this twice weekly ongoing class, we will build on the fundamentals of math learned in grades K-3. Because this is an ongoing class, each week will present a new lesson that does not build on previous weeks. This is a year long course that is a great option for families who need a more flexible schedule.  

I like to engage the class in a discussion so I can assess where they are in their understanding of the concepts. I always try to get every learner involved in the class, and will encourage even the most shy students to participate at their own comfort level, although they are welcome to sit and observe if that makes them more comfortable. 

*I have a lot of experience with neurodivergent learners as a teacher and a mom, and am happy to work with you/them to ensure that they have an enjoyable class experience.* 

Learners are welcome to join for one week, several weeks, or several months! Because this is an ongoing class, learners will not "miss out" by missing a week of instruction, as we start from scratch each week.

In each class we will start with a fun brain teaser or another quick warm up, and then an ice breaker/sharing time.  I allow kids to share their pets, Lego creations, artwork, or something about them. We will then move on to a short lesson on the current topic. We will use word problems, manipulatives, drawing, writing, and discussion to practice the concepts. I will give each child the chance to participate and demonstrate their understanding by "teaching" the class how to do a problem. 

KAHOOT AND GIMKIT GAMES
We will play review games every week on Kahoot and Gimkit. I will share a clickable link in chat and you will simply type in the game code that I give you to join the game. These games are super fun and easy to learn. If you have a separate device like a phone or iPad, it would be helpful, but you can also use the same device you are using for Outschool. 

OPTIONAL HOMEWORK
I will provide one or two optional homework sheets after the first class each week.
