This 5th grade math course will benefit students in homeschooling, public, and private settings when they partner with me, their math specialist, for learning, weekly support and success!

This class is Part C, OPERATIONS AND ALGEBRAIC THINKING for 5th graders.  It can function as a stand-alone class, or as part of series that is being listed by Math You Can Do!  However, students needing remediation, on grade level practice, or above grade level challenge will also benefit from the material that is taught in the these small classes. This course, OPERATIONS AND ALGEBRAIC THINKING, Part C, is the THIRD in a of series courses that will cover all 5 strands of mathematics required of elementary students in grade 5.  We dive into "OPERATIONS AND ALGEBRAIC THINKING" with this listing. This course will help students continue to build their number sense, skill, confidence and computational efficiency, as well as develop pre-algebra skills for further math study. The focus of this course will be primarily on writing numerical expressions and analyzing patterns and relationships.  This class will also be offered for private tutoring, if the minimum enrollment is not met. Private tutoring fees would apply. This is Math You Can Do by Michael Thurman.


What will be Taught

Week 1     FOR NEW STUDENTS ONLY!!!!....This first class is an informational Q and A and an experiential opportunity for students to explore the digital platform that will be used in this course. Students will be given their login credentials to explore my interactive math platform and be taught how to use it.  Students will then have a week of fun diagnostic activities to help determine their math strengths and needs, monitored by me, in order to provide a differentiated and personal approach for each student. Parents will be able to monitor their student's online progress as well. After this introductory class, there will be 3 additional classes offered by "A Creative, Interactive Math Journey...Together, We Can Do This!" (5th Grade, OPERATIONS AND ALGEBRAIC THINKING, PART  C).  FOR RETURNING STUDENTS...THE ABOVE WILL NOT BE NECESSARY AND WE WILL JUMP RIGHT INTO LEARNING LISTED BELOW.
