Grado de EE. UU. 3 - 6

Who knew that algebra could be fun? That equations could be solved without a paper and pencil?  Join me for an interactive and engaging introduction to algebra, appropriate for learners in grades 3 - 5.

This 3-class introduction to algebra uses a hands-on approach that allows learners to develop a solid foundation of basic algebraic concepts.  In each lesson, students will use manipulatives that they have gathered around the home (no need to buy special math kits, yay!) to set up and solve algebraic equations.  After finding a solution, students will learn how to check their work for accuracy.  Students will begin with basic equations with a single variable and work their way up to solving complex equations.

***Note: For classes with more than 4 learners, I may use breakout rooms to facilitate group work.  I monitor breakout rooms closely by going between them frequently.***

Lesson 1: Solving Basic Equations 
-What is an equation?
-How do we keep an equation balanced?
-What is a variable?
-How do we find the value of x?
-How do we check our solution?

Lesson 2: Combining Like Terms 
-What are like terms?
-How can we simplify an equation by combining like terms?

Lesson 3: The Distributive Property 
-What is the Distributive Property?
-How can we solve an equation using the Distributive Property? 

Learners will be provided with resources that will need to be printed out for each class.  

Other materials required for full participation in the class are:
-8 identical objects (same color, same size) from around the house (suggestions: chess pawns, checkers, uncooked pasta like macaroni or bowties, bobby pins, Lego blocks, cotton balls)

Maryland Certificado de Docencia en Educación elemental

Eighteen years as a public school teacher in Maryland and two years as an Outschool teacher have provided me the opportunity to teach learners from diverse backgrounds with a variety of learning styles.  I began my teaching career in elementary school, teaching all subjects and earning my Masters of Education with a certificate in Gifted Education from Johns Hopkins University.  Later, I added both Middle School Math: 6-9 and ESOL Pre-K-12 certifications to my professional certificate.  Most recently, I taught middle school math, working with both accelerated students and those with Special Education needs.  Because of my varied experiences, I have many strategies to help all kinds of learners.

Math is my passion because while there may only be one correct answer, there are often many different ways to solve the same problem.  Exploring those different ways and finding a method of solving with which each learner feels most confident is what I love to do.  I like to incorporate hands-on strategies, games, and interactive activities into my lessons to make math less scary for reluctant mathematicians and more engaging for everyone.

When I’m not thinking about math, I enjoy baking, cake decorating, drawing, working in my vegetable garden, and sewing.  In my spare time, I can be found hiking, kayaking, bird watching, doing a puzzle, or assembling furniture.  I look forward to meeting your learner!
