Domina las habilidades matemáticas fundamentales

There is a tentative timeline of class activities for learners who want to attend all 23 weeks.  The instructor will meet learners' needs where they see fit in regards to foundational skills.  Therefore it may not be necessary to attend every class. Please sign up to hone in on those much needed math life skills!

This course will help students catch up, review, or enrich upon basic math facts. Concepts covered will include place value in order for students to gain a better understanding of numbers.  Students will then in-turn learn to use number sense in order to solve facts of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.  The retention of basic facts can lead to students being able to conquer more advanced math problems when faced with more challenging math.

Weeks of Jan 19-Feb. 9/Weeks 1-4

Phase 1:  gain an understanding of place value in order to apply number sense in solving problems - includes skip-counting, rounding, expanded form, ranges of numbers

Week of  Feb. 16/Week 5: Place Value Evaluation

Weeks of Feb. 23-Mar. 16/Weeks 6-9
Phase 2: addition and subtraction - use place value, compatible numbers, standard algorithm to solve addition and subtraction problems

Week of Mar. 23/Week 10: Addition and Subtraction Evaluation

Weeks of Mar. 30-Apr. 20/Weeks 11-14
Phase 3: multiplication - applying strategies such as skip-counting, equal groups, arrays, repeated addition to solve multiplication problems. Learn and understand the relationship between addition and multiplication

Week of Apr. 27/Week 15: Multiplication Evaluation


Weeks of May 4-May 25/Weeks 16-19
Phase 4: multiplication and division - applying strategies such as skip-counting, equal groups, arrays, repeated subtraction to solve division problems.  Learn and understand the relationship between multiplication and division.

Week of Jun. 1/Week 20: Division Evaluation

Week of Jun. 8/Week 21: Summative Assessment

Week of Jun. 15/Week 22: Summative Assessment continued

Week of Jun. 22/Week 23: Go over summative assessment

Weeks ongoing: Students may entered the course where they see fit.  Some students may need to start at the beginning to build a better foundation and number sense.  Whereas other students may just need a review of some basic facts.  Students can complete course through its entirety or continue to work on skills deficits.
