Class Experience

Prerequisites:
Students need to do one of the following:
Complete level D of Right Start Math
Students new to Right Start Math should take the pre-assessment and reach out the teacher. https://rightstartmath.com/placement-test/
Students new to the program may need an individual session with teacher to become familiar with Al Abcus and the visualization strategies unique to Right Start Math.

Curriculum information: 
I will be teaching the award-winning Right Start Math Level A Second Edition.  This curriculum has a quite different approach to learning math, based on the research conducted by Dr. Cotter who studied the difference between traditional US math curriculums and those of high achieving Asian countries.  Counting is deemphasized in favor of teaching children to visual numbers for example instead counting 1,2,3 students are encouraged to look and see that 3 has a middle. Most of the learning occurs using carefully selected manipulatives and games, including a specially designed abacus that helps with visualizing quantities.  At the higher levels straight memorization in minimized in favor of learning strategies to quickly visualize and solve problems. This curriculum in great for active and kinesthetic learners. For more information about the curriculum go to https://rightstartmath.com/our-curriculum/the-rightstart-difference/.
Class Format:
Classes will be held twice a week (Mondays and Thursdays). Students should come with any supplies needed (list will be provided Sunday) their workbook and a notebook to take notes/work additional problems.  Students can use the e-workbook and a computer if they prefer.  During this year they will start to learn how to take notes.  
Mondays
Classes will start with a warm-up question or problem
Students will be introduced to the key concepts for that week of lessons using a variety of interactive activity and games.  Some of the activities will require physical materials in their home and other activities will make use of web based interactive manipulatives.  Most of the time the last 5-10 minutes of class the students will play a game together!  
After class homework (activities or worksheets from the curriculum) will be assigned for the week and at times may provide homework individually in order to meet students’ individual needs.
Tuesday and Wednesday – I may post questions in the classroom connected with the homework and/or answer student’s questions. Students can post in the classroom or email teacher directly. 
Thursdays
Classes will again start with a warmup question.  I will cover any concepts that were not touched on Monday.  I will address any questions students raise. Then we will play games that will reinforce the topic.  If time allows, I will leave the last few minutes for general socialization. 
Grades/Scores:
I will not assign grades unless specifically asked to.  However, at parents request I can schedule an individual time to complete assessments and tutor students individually (these are a separate and the cost is not included in the cost of this course).  Parents will have all the materials to score and assess the students in the books that are required.
  
Classroom rules:
1.	Respect everyone and everything, with your words, and actions.
2.	Come prepared with items needed for class. (List will be sent Sunday).
3.	I need to see the student face at least at the beginning of class, if the student turns off the video the student needs to answer questions in another way. 
4.	Students should keep themselves muted unless they are speaking.  If students need help muting or unmuting themselves, I will help them. 
5.	Students must have their own copies of the curriculum.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a certified elementary/ special education teacher who is homeschooling her own children ages 5 and 9.  I strongly believe that not all children learn the same way. So there needs to be a variety of resources, methods and approaches to teach them with. I found the Right Start Curriculum when I was teaching middle and high school life skills and multiple disability support. I implemented it with students who still were not able to count past 5.  This curriculum taught some them in a way that they could succeed while they still couldn’t always count to 10 they could see, add and subtract up 10.  When I pulled my daughter out of a brick and mortar school to home school, I put my daughter into this curriculum.  She has now gone through 3 levels of it.  I am not apart of the affiliate program nor do I receive any money from the company for using or recommending their program.  I just recommend it because I truly like it.
