実践数学（継続中）

In this ongoing classroom we will begin learning about math (basics) and what it takes to understand the difference between addition and subtraction. We will use manipulatives and objects to help us visually see what it looks like to add and subtract. Each week will consist of learning a different concept and each learner will get an opportunity to help in some way.

This is a Montessori inspired math class and here is a breakdown of each week.  Each class is session is 4 weeks. 

Week1-First week of each month 
We will have a great time learning about numbers and how important they are. We will engage in conversation while talking about our knowledge of addition and subtraction. We will also talk about the adding symbol and subtraction sign. Children are encouraged to bring their manipulative to the first class. 

Week2- Second week of each month 
During week two we will dive into strictly adding numbers together and what it means to add. All learners need to bring manipulatives to class to help them stay engaged and excited about math. 

Week3- Third week of each month 
During week three we will discuss what it means to subtract and take numbers away. I will give many examples and I will also allow learners to use their manipulatives to problem solve as well. 

Week4-Fourth week of each month 
During week four I will challenge the children and review the concepts we have discussed throughout the previous weeks. I will also begin by giving them two digit problems and teach them how to count up. This will begin helping them to problem solve larger numbers. 

At the end of this four week course your learner will understand the difference between addition and subtraction. Learners only need to know how to count up to 10 in order to take this course. Everything else can be learned during this 4 week course.
