Class Experience
Come join in on some Valentine's Day fun while we practice important math skills and gain a deeper understanding of key mathematical concepts! Did you know you're actually doing algebra when solving Emoji puzzles? It's true!!! We'll start off solving some puzzles together and then you'll even get a chance to create your own puzzle for other students to solve! We'll also cover some geometry as we discuss how the concept of symmetry is related to the ultimate symbol of Valentine's Day--the...
Students will practice basic math facts (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division); improve their algebraic thinking through puzzles, and be able to identify lines of symmetry in various shapes.
I am a certified teacher (Grades 1-6) with a Masters in Teaching and over 20 years of classroom, small group and one-on-one experience. Math has been my focus for the past 6 years.
No homework, although I will post additional practice game links in the classroom after class for students to be able to play and practice more on their own time.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
No formal assessment in this one time class, though parents are welcome to contact me about their desired level of feedback and assessment.
55 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
We will be using the third-party websites listed below that provide interactive, fun opportunities for building mastery and fluency of math concepts and skills: Google Jamboard: A great interactive tool for collaborative learning and sharing ideas. I will send a direct link in the Zoom chat that will allow students to enter directly into the specific Jamboard without any kind of sign-up * No account or personal information needed Blooket: Students love playing these fun, fast-paced games with math question banks that I am able to create and tailor to the needs of the class. The report I see after each game serves as a great informal assessment. I will post a direct link in the Zoom chat, students will simply enter their first name of nickname and begin playing the game. *No account or personal information needed
