Students will be given workbook pages to practice on days we do not meet. Depending on the child and their abilities, students will receive homework 1-3 days each week.Assessment
Students are assessed by in class discussion, activities, and workbook assignments. By request, I will provide a written evaluation for each student.Class Experience
US Grade Kindergarten - 3
I believe success in math depends on a child's ability to not only understand numerical concepts, but to be able to apply those strategies to problems by using mathematical thinking. My approach is to give students the tools they need to be able to solve problems, and then allow them to experiment, fail, and try again until they get the answer. We work on developing strategies, understanding relationships, and building confidence. As I tell my students, there is always one right answer in math, but there is not just one way to get there. I use Dimensions Math, a Singapore Math curriculum. Singapore Math is a mastery-based approach to math, where students progress from concrete examples (real life), to pictures, and finally apply their knowledge to the abstract, using numbers and algorithms. Students do a lot of hands-on work, as well as, mental math. Instead of mimicking procedures, they learn how to think mathematically and apply what they know to solve problems. In this class, students will receive private or semi-private instruction in math. After finding the right level for your student, we will set learning goals and then meet 2 times each week for math lessons. Students complete independent work on their own to practice the skills we learn together. If you are not currently using Dimensions Math or any other Singapore Math curriculum, you can find your child's level here: https://www.singaporemath.com/placement-tests/ At this time, I tutor levels 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B.
Learning Goals
Students progress through the Dimensions Math program at their own pace. Each student will have individual goals to work on.
