Children will need a pencil and paper or a mini whiteboard and pen. Squared paper is great but plain is fine. 

It is very useful if learners are able to use basic Zoom tools such as the pen tool or the typing tool. By working through math problems in real time, helps to reinforce the process.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Youtube
Nearpod
Solve Me Math Puzzles
Splash Learn 
Top Marks Maths
American Museum of Natural History
Nat Geo Kids 
World Wildlife Fud WWF
National Park Services

There will be times that I will send links to useful videos. In order to access some of the resources you will need to have access to Youtube. You will not need to have a Youtube account and the links will be sent through the. Outschool platform. Children will need to be supervised when watching Youtube videos,

What is NearPod?  NearPod is an app approved by Outschool. It can be be accessed with a code and link provided by the teacher. Nearpod is free with an account that parents / guardians will need to set up. Games will be interactive for the learner, support from the parent might be needed at first until learners get used to it but parents / guardians are always encouraged to check activities to ensure they are appropriate for their family’s needs.
