Looking for a fun 5th grade math class that your learner will be excited to join each week? Well, look no further! Each class will cover a different 5th grade math topic. After learning the topics and reinforcing them through practice problems, learners will participate in a game of Blooket, where they will practice the skills that they just learned, while having fun and engaging in some friendly competition with their fellow classmates! (For those who are unfamiliar with Blooket, please see the description below)

Class Format: 
⌛5 minutes: Warm up 
- as learners join, they will be asked to complete a "minds on" warm-up problem that will start getting them thinking about the the topic of the day
⌛20 minutes: Active learning
- The teacher will introduce the topic of the day and present various examples that will be completed both as a group as well as independently for reinforcement
⌛10 minutes: Blooket game! 
- Learners will reinforce their understanding of the topic of the day while having fun!
- Blooket is "an exciting new take on the modern classroom review game. It aims to match action with education to create the ultimate learning experience!"
- Blooket has several game modes, which we will alternate through. Some examples include: 
    -> Gold Quest: In this mode, learner will answer questions in a quiz-style format (similar to Kahoot), and when they get a question right, they get to open a gold chest. They will get to choose one of three chests to open - some containing lots of gold, some allowing them to steal gold from other players, and some containing nothing. The player with the most gold at the end of the game wins!
    -> Fishing Frenzy: Cast, reel, and prepare for Lots of Surprises! Cast out your line and answer questions quickly to reel in the biggest fish in the whole wide sea. Watch out for catching some crazy things! The player that catches highest total fish weight wins!
