Class Structure: 
Students will have a warm up question to look at while everyone is logging in this will be the 1st couple minutes of class. Then I will teach the lesson. Students will have the opportunity to work together during the lesson and then have time to try some problems on their own. At the end of the lesson we will end with a game. I incorporate games, hands on activities, as well as worksheets in my lessons. Students learn in a variety of ways and I try to have different options available for the students. 

I do give homework so that students can practice the content on their own or with their family the day after I teach the concept. Repetition is key and so students should be practicing outside of class. There are fun ways to apply the concept in our life and through games so it's not always through worksheets and is not graded. 

Students will get to interact with me and classmates during the lesson in open discussions, games, and math problems.
