In this fun, interactive class, I introduce number sense, mental math and problem solving. Students will start by warming up our 'math brains' by subitizing or math song. We will then have a mini lesson that will focus on a various strategies and tools to build a strong mental math foundation. Mini lessons will consist of a lesson to help students develop deep understanding of number relationships, fluency in recognizing quantities and confidence in independent problem solving. After our mini lesson we will solve a story problem together, using interactive NearPod story boards. We will use several strategies to solve each problem and check our thinking. I will incorporate a verity of visuals, songs and math tools to meet every students individual learning style. Mental math and problem solving are the foundation for a rich math curriculum, this class is perfect for building a strong foundation for your student! After each class, students will be given access to the lesson in NearPod, to reinforce what was learned during class and to further practice in an engaging, interactive format. Course mini lesson outline: Week 1&2: Part/Part/Whole Mat | Composing Week 3&4: Part/Part/Whole Mat | Decomposing Week 5&6: Number Bonds | Composing Week 7&8: Number Bonds | Decomposing Week 9&10: Ten Frames | Composing Week 11&12: Ten Frames | Decomposing Just joining class? Don't worry concepts repeat every 12 weeks, with new story problems. Students can stick with the class beyond 12 weeks with out repeating story problems!
