In this class, students will play Yahtzee and practice beginning math concepts. Mainly, students will practice adding, skip counting, and multiplying. The class will be taught based on how the dice are rolled. Students will only need ONE die to play because we will be playing as a group. Students will be broken up into teams to play against each other (or against me) in a fun game of Yahtzee. After each round, students will work on skip counting, adding, and multiplying numbers related to the numbers on the dice. For example, if at the end of a round we have four 3s, students will count by threes to determine the score. I will explain that counting by threes is the same as adding up the 3s. Class agenda: Go over basic Yahtzee rules Play Yahtzee During each round, students will think about Yahtzee strategy and either add or skip count to determine the score. Each round, students will see the correlation between skip counting and multiplying.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of Central Arkansas
I have a lot of passions in life, but two of my biggest passions are reading and writing. One of my main goals is to create a love of literature. If a student can read well, the possibilities of what they can learn are endless. I believe that writing is a form of communicating. If a student can communicate, then a student can write.
As a woman with ADHD and two children with ADHD, I understand that no two students learn the same. I have experience teaching and helping students who struggle with ADHD and other neurodivergent tendencies. I am a member of Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD). I will help any student I can with whatever extra support they need. I can make sure students have fill-in-the-blank notes to help keep focus during class, keep PowerPoints and other visuals simple to prevent overstimulation, step-by-step written instructions for all assignments, or whatever else your student needs. I want all students to succeed. I encourage students to participate and keep their video on, but it is not required. I also welcome all students to stay unmuted, as long as they are respectful of others.
As a homeschool parent, I understand that different states have different requirements. I will provide a syllabus and detailed grades upon request. Also, make sure to ask about sibling discounts!
I have a bachelor's degree in writing with a minor in journalism. Before obtaining that degree, my original course of study was in education and literature. I regularly take professional development classes to fine-tune my skills as a writer and educator. I believe all of these things have worked together to create my unique teaching style.
