In this grade 4 level ongoing course learners can join in at any time. This class will allow learners to practice grade 4 concepts from the math curriculum. Learners can take all the classes or drop in to practice certain math concepts. Please read the class description to see if this class is a good fit for your learner.  Materials will be posted Monday mornings. Please have materials ready before the start of class.  Let’s have fun working on Math together.

**Please note: class may run over 45 minutes depending on learners need.

Each lesson will have the same format: 
*  Warm up: we will do a math warm up to help turn on our minds to get ready for the lesson. Math questions will be displayed on a google slide. Students can record their thinking on a worksheet. Students are encouraged to share their thinking with the class. Our warm ups are focused on grade 4 level subtraction, addition, multiplication, division and/or fraction concepts. Warm up helps students get their minds ready to learn and reinforce several math concepts. 
*  Lesson: I will teach a lesson to the class. We will work together using manipulatives and powerpoint presentations. Students will “Watch Me First”, explaining a concept and work through a problem. Then through guided practice, students will work through the material with me. Students will be provided with a worksheet to record their thinking as we engage in the lesson. I will be using digital manipulatives.
*  Independent work: Students will work on assigned work with support from me. Students will be provided with a worksheet. We will go over the work together.  Students are encouraged to share their thinking with the class.
*  Reflection: Students will reflect on their thinking and how they feel about the math topic.
*  Game or activity to support math concept
*  Extension: Students will be provided with an extension activity that he or she can complete on their own time.  Extension activities are a support for learning outside of class time.  These activities are not evaluated by me.

Homework:
Each student is unique and may require extra time outside of class to complete work.
Extension activity is provided.  This is optional to help support student’s learning outside of class.  These are not evaluated by me.
