This is a small ongoing fun math class that meets 3 times a week geared for 2nd & 3rd grade learners.  This math class is designed to practice math facts, problem solving through mini lessons (with student practice) and end with math games and review. Lessons will include but not limited to time, money, math facts, number sentences, multiplication, division, graphing, number patterns, measurement, shapes, tallying, thermometer, number lines, skip counting, perimeter, story problems, and fractions. 
We will review past concepts to insure mastery and speed along with introducing new lessons and techniques for learners. We will learn how to use critical thinking to solve multi-step problems and we will review past concepts briefly while introducing new concepts with mini-lessons. 
 
We learn a lot, move through the material with short bursts of learning, laugh a lot and reinforce with daily homework and periodic assessments.
Each mini-lesson is about 5-10 minutes  (short burst of learning) covering a variety of topics.  This class is tailored to the students in the class. This is NOT a traditional lecture class. Everyone is expected to keep cameras on and participate.
 
Integrated occasionally are math facts songs (we listen), games, and lots of laughs.  I've worked with this age group for years so I'm able to keep them on task, re-direct when needed but connect with them so much they BEG for more time and more classes.   Kids get opportunities to participate, discuss ideas and possible solutions in order to solve problems.
 
Worksheets provided and need to be printed.  This helps keep them focused without needing a lot of help at home.
This class does move faster than "average" but all kids find success and learn a lot.
