Class Experience

Prerequisites:
This course requires completion of Right Start math Level A 1-52
This curriculum starts from the ground up building math concepts. 
Students should be able to stay near the computer 45 minutes.
Students should be able to follow 1 and 2 step directions.

Curriculum information: 
I will be teaching the award-winning Right Start Math Level A Second Edition.  This curriculum has a very 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. There is a minimal number of worksheet. 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 (Monday’s and Thursday’s). Sessions are 45 minutes. Individual students who may struggle to stay focused can work out an plan with me to help them build endurance to succeed.
Monday’s
Classes will start with song or active warm up activity. 
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 I will reach out to individual families if a child needs to focus on a particular aspect more closely.  
Thursday’s
Class will again start with a song or movement-based activity.  I will review content that students struggled with on Monday as well as feedback from families during the week and cover any additional topics that are needed.  Class will end with a math game.
Grades/Scores:
I will not assign grades.  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.

Parental Guidance
This curriculum approaches math different and can be confusing to adults used to thinking in more traditional ways. Please reach out if a section or concept isn’t making sense so that I can help you help, your child. I will be willing to email or make a video to help you reframe your thinking!

Profile
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.
