Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5
Each week, learners will be given a preview assignment to try before class. This assignment is meant to help learners prepare for the class session and get the most out of the discussion. Learners can use the comments thread in the Outschool classroom to discuss the preview assignment with their classmates and share any strategies they tried or questions they have. The class session will begin with a discussion of the preview assignment, so it is important for learners to have attempted it beforehand. Completing the preview assignment during or after the class session is acceptable.

During group activities in this online class, learners will have the opportunity to engage with the teacher and their peers through verbal discussions and collaborative slides. These slides are designed to facilitate thinking and organization, and learners can either use the in-built annotation tools within Zoom or request a link to the Explain Everything board to write and draw directly on the slides. All learner contributions will be monitored by the teacher to ensure they are appropriate, safe, and accurate. A recording of the session will be preserved for learners to review later.

Upcoming problems:
Week of April 1: Garden planning 
Week of April 8: Train travel
Week of April 15: Frogs
Week of April 22: Room decoration

Learning Goals

Learners will apply calculation skills in context.
Learners will use math topics like geometry and probability as needed for situational problems.
Learners will choose strategies appropriately for the problem at hand.
Learners will communicate about their strategies, solutions, and challenges.
Learners will develop appreciation of math as a tool for figuring things out.

Parental Guidance
GeoGebra Classroom is a free educational website that uses open-source dynamic geometry software to help learners explore mathematical concepts. The website allows teachers to view and monitor learners' work in real time, and learners can also choose to create accounts that allow them to save and access their work at a later time. To use the site, learners will need to provide a name or nickname, which the teacher can use to identify their work in the teacher interface. This information is only used for the purpose of tracking progress and is not shared with any third parties. Learners are welcome to use a pseudonym or nickname if they prefer to maintain their privacy. TeacherMade is an educational website designed for use in schools. It provides learners with access to a variety of worksheets, tutorials, and practice problems to help them learn and reinforce important concepts. To use the site, learners can either use their real names or choose to sign in with a pseudonym or nickname for added privacy. The website is designed to be safe and secure, and all learner information is kept confidential and only used for the purposes of tracking progress and providing personalized learning experiences. Explain Everything is a shared whiteboard platform that allows learners to collaborate and share their work in real time. It is similar to Google Jamboard, but offers more flexibility and customization options. To use the platform, learners do not need to create an account and can simply access the board through a unique link. If learners do not wish to write on the board, they do not need to access Explain Everything at all – learners can simply watch and participate in the discussion in Zoom. The platform is designed to be safe and secure, and all learner information is kept confidential.
Pre-Requisites
We will be focusing on applications, problem solving, and organizing information, rather than calculation skills. Learners should already have calculation skills within the grade level range.
