***$10 off code for your first class with this code! DRYELCQDFM10

I love teaching math and can’t wait to meet your child! Building relationships with my students is very important in my math classroom! I also encourage students to build relationships with each other in our class. I strive to create a classroom where everyone feels welcome and excited to share their problem solving strategies and ideas!! I cap this class at 7 learners to ensure everyone is able share their math thinking!

This class will begin in September and run through the end of May! It will cover 7th grade math standards. Each class will begin with a mini lesson about a new topic. We will complete a couple examples together and then I will give the students a chance to try some on their own. Then we will play a game together to practice the new skill! Games may include Gimkit, pictionary, blooket, or basketball!
