This is not intended to teach a full grade level for the first time; this is a review course to enhance the student’s math skills through playing games. We will have a new specific grade-level topic each week and I will post the topic the week before, along with free resources and notes so that the students can prepare for the games. The students can also ask questions on the classroom wall to get help with the topics. We will spend the first five minutes of class reviewing the topic before jumping into the games. We will play games through Kahoots, Coolmath Games, Nearpod, and more! We will mostly play online games, but we will also solve puzzles and escape rooms. The following is our tentative schedule, which I will update as we go: *DONE* Week 2 (Feb 18): Identify equivalent fractions and simplify fractions Week 3 (Feb 25): Compare and order fractions Week 4 (March 4): Convert fractions Week 5 (March 11): Add and subtract fractions Week 6 (March 18): multiply and divide fractions
Learning Goals
This class will prepare students for 7th grade by reviewing and practicing 6th grade concepts through games.
Other Details

Teacher expertise and credentials
Arkansas Teaching Certificate
My classroom is a safe, supportive environment where students learn communication, social, and problem-solving skills. Every child can succeed with guidance and encouragement.
I am passionate about math. I know a lot of tricks and mnemonics to make math fun and easier to understand. I especially love helping struggling students achieve success. I have been a math teacher and tutor in public school and online since 2010.
I am passionate about creative writing. There are so many ways to express what is in your heart through words, and I would love to help you find that passion as well. I have two years of classroom experience teaching English and writing in public school. I also have had twenty-five books published. Many of them have been translated and narrated. Let me help you bring out your creativity in a way that will astound your audience.
I am also passionate about science and nature. From the expanse of outer space to the deepest depths of the ocean, from the first organisms to grace our planet to the future of technology, let’s explore the universe’s many incredible wonders. I have two years of classroom experience teaching science and robotics in public school.
*I am going on maternity leave mid-late October.
