Division can be frustrating for some kids, especially if they are simply trying to memorize facts with a "drill and kill" method.  In this class, learners will develop an understanding of division as it relates to multiplication, connecting new learning to something they already know.   Each class will consist of visual, kinesthetic, and auditory activities to engage different learning styles (so be prepared for your learner to have a place to safely jump around and move!). To practice their facts, learners will engage in cooperative games and friendly competition.  In between classes, learners may be asked to complete some written work to practice the skills learned in class.  Blooket games will be assigned as optional homework for extra practice.

***The November-December 2022 class will actually meet three times a week for 5 weeks (still 14 classes, no class on Friday the last week).  The sequence of lessons will still be the same as below.***
Class will meet twice a week. The topic for each week is as follows:
-Week 1: Review concept of multiplication and multiplication facts
-Week 2: Introduction to concept of division
-Week 3: Relate multiplication and division through fact families - focus on 2s, 5s, and 10s facts
-Week 4: Relate multiplication and division through fact families - focus on 3s, 6s, and 9s facts
-Week 5: Relate multiplication and division through fact families - focus on 4s, 7s, and 8s facts, rules for 0 and 1
-Week 6: Divide with a remainder; Review and practice all facts by solving word problems, including interpreting a remainder
-Week 7: Multiplication and division mixed practice - facts and word problems

**Nearpod and Google Jamboard will be used throughout this course.  If your learner will be joining class from a tablet, please make sure to download both the Nearpod and Jamboard apps (both free) before the first class.**

***Depending on the size of the class, breakout rooms may be used for some activities.  I will go between breakout rooms to monitor activity offer any help needed.  If this is an issue for your learner, please message me when you enroll so I can adjust my lesson plan.***
