1 hour per week. I will assign homework if I feel that students are ready to practice independently. Homework will always be optional. I will provide answers for the students to check their work.Assessment
I will check each student's progress by having them answer questions in the chat or holding up answers on a piece of paper or whiteboard.Class Experience
US Grade 6
***This class is one of two parts. Together, they make up the whole school year. In each class, I will introduce the topic to students by modeling how to solve the problems. Then, we will work together to solve the problems as a class. Throughout this, I will ask students to submit answers in the chat or hold up pieces of paper with answers. This shows me that students are ready to try to answer on their own. Finally, I will have students practice on their own. I keep class numbers small so that I know how each student is doing in the class. I adjust the pace of the class to meet the needs of the students. If students really understand a concept, we will spend less time on it. If students are having difficulty with a subject, we will spend more time on it. In addition to seeing that each student is able to solve the problems on their own, I also ask students how they feel about a topic before we move on. I have them do this anonymously through the chat. At the beginning of the course, I let students know that they can stop me at any time to ask a question or they can also put a message in the chat. I encourage students to let me know if they are not understanding what I am trying to teach them. I explain to them that very often I can present the topic in a different way, so they should let me know. This also teaches students to advocate for themselves in school. My goal at the end of the course is to not only teach students math but to teach them skills they will need for the rest of their life. I try to teach students to be curious and to ask questions when they do not know the answer. I am a certified general education teacher and special education teacher in two states. Feel free to reach out to me and talk to me about your child and their learning. I would love to help in any way that I can.

Parental Guidance
I will occasionally share Google Slides with students for them to use to complete math activities in class. I will provide the link for the students. Students do not need an account.
I also use Google Docs and Google Slides to present some of the information in my class. This will be screen shared.
Supply List
- Notebook or whiteboard I will post worksheets for optional homework. Students may want to print the worksheets to solve the problems.
