Private Class: Mini Math Mysteries (3rd-5th Grade)
In this private class, upper elementary learners will use their math skills (multiplication, division, place value, rounding, telling time, missing addends, fraction models, and word problems) to solve new mini math mysteries each class.

Does your learner like to solve fun mysteries? Well, let them put on their detective hat and get to work using their upper elementary math skills! Mini Math Mysteries are a fun 'game-like' activity to practice different math skills. They follow a simple elimination structure where learners will be using the answers to the math questions to eliminate possibilities. This listing is for a private, ongoing class that meets once per week. At the beginning of each class, the learner will hear a short story to preface the mystery they will be solving for the day. Then, it is time for our math detective to get to work! The learner will answer a variety of questions based on different math content (multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, place value, rounding, telling time, missing addends, etc.) to solve the mystery. They will first solve the math questions, and then they will look for their answers in the boxes on the screen and eliminate the boxes with a matching answer. After answering all questions, only one image will remain (that image will contain a number that didn't match any of the answers to the questions) and that box is the solution to our mystery! We will work on one to two mysteries per session depending on how quickly we are able to finish one mystery. I will be ready to have a short lesson to teach the learner, if needed, to help review the rules of the concept(s) we are focusing on for the day. You can find some of the math concepts we may cover each session below: -Addition within 1,000 with Regrouping (Questions and Word Problems) -Subtraction within 1,000 with Regrouping (Questions and Word Problems) -Adding Three Addends (Single, Double, and Triple-Digit Numbers) -Missing Addends to 100 (Questions and Word Problems) -Read & Write time (5 Minute Intervals) -Multiplication Facts (1-12) -Fraction Models (Write the fraction to show the shaded parts) -Area Measurement: Counting Unit Squares -Division Facts (1-12) -Read & Interpret A Line Graph -Place Value Hundreds, Tens & Ones (Expanded Form, Value of underlined digit) -Rounding to the nearest 10 or 100 -Number Patterns (Missing Number & Input/Output Tables) -Multiplication & Division Facts (1-12) Mix -Read and Write Time (15 minute intervals) -Comparing Numbers (up to 1,000) -Multiplying by 2s and 10s -Converting from Expanded Form (Hundreds, Tens & Ones) -Multiplying by 5s -Dividing by 2 -Writing the Fraction Represented by the Shaded Fraction Models I look forward to meeting your learner in class! Now, let's have FUN learning math!! See you in the classroom! :)

Hello, my name is Kristi. I am a married fur-mom to two dogs, Olaf and Olivia. I enjoy reading, being outdoors, learning new things, and going on adventures with my husband!
I have a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Early Childhood Education. I also have a MBA concentrating in Accounting. Math is a big passion of mine! I am a certified PreK-5 teacher in the state of Georgia. I also hold current Gifted and Talented, Special Education, and TESOL education certifications. I have been teaching in some capacity for 11 years with experience in all elementary grade levels, from pre-K to 5th grade! I taught at a private preschool for 1 year and the rest of my teaching years have been in a public school setting or online. In May of 2019, I began a new endeavor, teaching ESL online to students in China. I absolutely love teaching online and meeting students all the way across the world! As a teacher, I believe it is my responsibility to make learning fun, help and encourage students to be successful in learning, and fostering a love for learning at an early age. In my classroom, you will see plenty of activities for varying learning styles, lots of movement and interactive activities, and learning through play.
I am passionate about teaching young children, and I look forward to meeting your learner(s) and helping them develop their young minds! I can't wait to meet you in the classroom!Reviews
