Class Title: Singapore Thinking Math for Grades 3+ Class Description: Welcome to Dr. Victoria’s Thinking Math course designed for students in grades 3 to 5. In this engaging and comprehensive program, we will delve into various independent topics, equipping your child with essential problem-solving skills and mathematical knowledge. Classes are held once a week, with each lesson lasting 90 minutes, ensuring that your child receives focused and effective instruction. The class will cover the following topics: Looking for a Pattern The Story of Gauss Using Models Intervals Solve by Comparison and Replacement Counting Tricks in Addition and Subtraction Tricks in Multiplication Working Backward Chicken-and-Rabbit Problems Logic Make a List Excess-and-Shortage Problems Math IQ Catching Up Digits, Numbers and Multiples Perimeter of Squares and Rectangles The class structure is designed to foster active learning and engagement. Each lesson begins with a brief introduction to the day's topic, followed by interactive activities and practice problems. Students will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussions to deepen their understanding. My teaching approach is based on the highly effective Singapore Math method, known for its emphasis on problem-solving and critical thinking. I use a combination of lecture-style teaching, interactive games, visual aids, video clips, and group discussions to ensure that students grasp mathematical concepts thoroughly. I employ a student-centered teaching style, encouraging active participation and critical thinking. I believe that students learn best when they are actively involved in the learning process, so I strive to create an inclusive and engaging classroom environment. No prior experience or specific knowledge is required for this course. It is designed to accommodate learners of all skill levels, from beginners to those looking to deepen their math knowledge and problem-solving abilities. Join us on this exciting journey of mathematical exploration, where your child will build a strong foundation in math and develop the critical thinking skills necessary for success in school and beyond.
