Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 3
During this class learners will learn how to use co-ordinates to find hidden pirate treasure on a map. Learners will learn how to read and write co-ordinates using the x and the y axis on a grid and then find the pirate treasure! The lesson will start with a video explaining how to read co-ordinates and then move on to explaining we would write co-ordinates. Learners will then be shown a map of a pirate island and asked to locate certain treasures. This class will also look at direction of the compass points, North, East, South an West and learners will be asked which direction we would need to travel to locate different places on the pirate treasure map. An extension task would see learners plotting a route for the Pirates to reach certain points on the map.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi my name is Zoe Farrow! I have a BA Honours in Primary Education and I have been a teacher in the UK for the last 14 years. I have taught children in school between the ages of 3-11 years old and I have also taught one-on-one lessons for 5 years with children of a variety of ages. I have recently led a whole school improvement project for raising the attainment of all children in maths which was successful. 

As a mathematics specialist teacher, it is my responsibility to ensure my lessons on Outschool are delivered with high quality teaching. I also have a passion for other curriculum subjects so I will be able to deliver quality teaching across the diverse primary curriculum – from science to the arts, history, geography, Physical Education and basic computing skills.

Through my teaching and lessons, I will  inspire my students to overcome barriers, solve problems, and elevate their enthusiasm for maths. I will assist my students to express themselves and accept themselves for who they are as well as embrace the difference of others. My classroom is a unique community and my role as a teacher is to assist each child in developing their own potential and learning styles. I am calm, patient and encouraging to all learners while making learning as fun and interactive as possible. 

A fun fact about myself is that I absolutely love rollercoasters and theme parks!
