Remedial Math Skills Class for Older Learners covers 3rd, 4th & 5th grade math skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division for older students with learners their age in a small, comfortable group setting. These ongoing, small group sessions are created with your learner in mind and the goal of providing instruction to help each individual learner gain a solid understanding of mathematical concepts and reach their potential in performing mathematical operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division with a new confidence.

This is a comfortable place where we address core math curriculum, standards and current math concepts in addition 2-3-4 digits, subtraction 2-3-4 digits, place value, multiplication [box method, place value method], division with & without remainders, short & long division; depending on the learners level and need, addressing areas where the learner has struggles or just wants to build and strengthen their mathematical skills. I zero in on the area of need, moving the learner to a better understanding of how math operations work, growing their understanding and developing new skill sets. 

We cover the four mathematical operations so the learners gain an understanding of addition, subtraction, multiplication fact families, multiplication, division, computation of equations, greater/less than, word problems, whole numbers. Learners will gain an understanding of each operation and the process through the grouping of manipulatives, manually moving and drawing various objects, using graph paper, cubes, tiles or blocks, skip counting as they develop math concepts.  

The sessions are designed to help the learner understand the math that they see.

Some of the concepts learners will review, learn and master:
○ Addition [basic]
○ Addition [multi-digit]
○ Addition with regrouping
○ Subtraction [basic]
○ Subtraction [single, multi-digit]
○ Subtraction with regrouping
○ Addition and Subtraction with larger numbers  
○ Place value
○ Hundreds & Thousands Place Value Charts
○ Number line
○ Skip Counting
○ Money
○ Understanding the relationship between addition and subtraction  
○ Word Problems with addition and subtraction 
○ Multiplication Facts Families 
○ Multiplication [basic]
○ Multiplication [multiple-digits]
○ Word Problems using multiplication and division  
○ Understanding the relationship between multiplication and division 
○ Multiplying and Dividing with larger numbers 
○ Division [basic]
○ Division [long division]
○ Division [with R = remainder]

If your math understanding isn't where you want it to be, Learners, come sharpener your math skills in this class, Remedial Math Skills Class for Older Learners. Meet new friends and have a good time learning what numbers are all about in these small, ongoing sessions. Lessons are self contained so learners can join at any time, and hopefully stay for a while.

SPECIAL NOTE: If older Learners have a good, solid understanding of the 4 operations from addition to multiplication and know the math facts [times tables] from 0 to 12 and are ready to tackle the challenges of fractions, decimals, percentages, measurement, probability and beginning geometry, take a look at Fractions, Decimals, Percents & Beyond ~ Operations & Practical Application [https://outschool.com/classes/fractions-decimals-percents-beyond-operations-practical-application-OG4Aey6e?refuid=ZvKivPMt]. This course is for older learners who have gone through Small Group Remedial Math Skills Class for Older Learners completely and are ready to move on to higher level thinking and mathematical skills.

Learners needing a concentrated course in learning ways to master multiplication and division facts should enroll in "Mastering Multiplication Facts - A Fast and Easy Way to Learn Multiplication Facts [https://outschool.com/classes/mastering-multiplication-facts-a-fast-easy-way-to-learn-multiplication-facts-a5UUcjrw?refuid=ZvKivPMt] OR MATH Fact Families: Learn Multiplication & Division Facts the FUN Way [https://outschool.com/classes/math-fact-families-learn-multiplication-division-facts-the-fun-way-Q0QMyMnZ?refuid=ZvKivPMt].

*** Parent NOTE: When enrolling your learner, please be sure to check out the Supply List below and have your learner bring a magnetic white board, marker, eraser and magnetic manipulatives to the first class so they're ready to work. The additional supplies on the list should be available for the learner to use at the following classes.

For academic purposes, cameras and mics must be working and turned on for the duration of the lesson.

"The Math Inspectors - The Case of the Claymore Diamond" [Story One] by Daniel Kenney & Emily Boever is used in this class as SPECIAL Reading material related to math concepts taught in this class.
