Class Experience

In this on-going course, student will use the CUBES method to help them solve words problems. Students will learn the steps of CUBE (circle the numbers, underline the question, box the keywords, eliminate what you don’t need, and solve and label your answer) to give them the skills they need in order to solve various types of word problems. Students will work alone and together to solve single and multi-step word problems. The word problems will include addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Students will learn how to determine what information is needed and what is not. They will develop the confidence to be able to solve multi-step word problems on their own.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Elizabeth. It is wonderful to meet you. I am the mom of three boys and live on a farm in rural West Virginia. I graduated from Marshall University in 2010 with a major in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. I have been homeschooling my children for the past 7 years and have taught English as a Second Language for the past year and a half. Teaching has quickly became my passion. I enjoy spending time in the classroom with students, both in person and online. I love making learning fun! I am a firm believer in "never stop learning" and truly believe that teaching a child to read is the greatest gift you can give. Whether your child needs a little help reading, or with math, or science, I would be honored to help your child along the way.
