This course will help boost students' chances of math testing sucess, simply by helping them prepare for the test; as Benjamin Franklin's said, " By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail ".

I will be teaching students in 3rd to 6th grade Common Core Math Standards, which are a set of educational standards used in The United States of America. Utilizing sample math specifications from the Department of Education and other learning sites, I will assess your student's testing readiness to identify critical proficiency gaps in common core math standards, and then work with your student to bridge those gaps.  Additionally, this course will help your student familiarize with math testing specification, which may reduce testing anxiety and boost testing sucess! This an on-going course that will meet weekly for 45 minutes. My weekly learning topics will be learner-directed and customized to meet the needs of your learner. During our weekly sessions, your student will learn, practice, and review Common Core math standards via videos, direct instruction, games, and virtual learning tools.  

Class structure example below

1.)  Math warm-up- Student will transition to my math sessions by completing a math warm-up.
2.) 5 min Explore- Student will explore math testing specifications by completing an activity. 
Example 5th grade activity: Explain how you could do the following problems in your head: 5 ∗ 40; 50 ∗ 40; 50 ∗ 400. 
3.) 5-10 min Direct Instruction- I will utilize slides, videos, and other virtual learning tools to teach math testing specifications.
Example 5th grade standard:
Content Standard: CCSS.Math.Content.5.NBT Number and Operations in Base Ten
Math.Content.5.NBT.A Understand the place value system
Math.Content.5.NBT.A.2 Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10 and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10. 
4.)10-15 min Practice- Utilizing guided and independent practice, student will complete standardize math problems. 
Example: Common Core questions.
What is the value of 102? 
What is equivalent to multiplying a number by 10^3?
What is 0.000523 ÷ 10²?
What is 0.0523 x 10²?
5.) 5 min Review- I will utilize virtual games and other virtual learning tools to check for understanding.
6.) Close
