Instruction will be given in a relaxed, fun and upbeat manner three times a week.  Students will be rewarded often with verbal cues as well as filling out a Math Mountain reward sheet.  The goal of this class is to make math an enjoyable experience for each student.  Students should leave class feeling confident and excited to learn more.  An assortment of learning techniques will be used to meet the needs of each learner.  

This class is also designed to help with flexible and changing schedules.  It is ongoing and you can cancel at anytime.  As long as your child has at least a 3rd grade background knowledge of math, they should be just fine no matter when they join!  

Class will typically begin with a fun warm up activity followed by an engaging slideshow presentation led by the teacher.  The students will then be given time for some guided practice of what they just learned. This might simply be some practice problems or even playing a game or completing a hands on activity.  Students will also be assigned some practice work to complete before the next class to ensure they remember what they just learned.

There's something for each type of learner!  One of the best parts about this class is the many resources provided for each and every class.  Posted on the classroom page for each session will be a short video explaining each concept, detailed notes explaining each concept, links to other online resources and fun games related to each concept, as well as hands on task cards to be used at home that are great for kinetic learners.  

Assessments and reports on students progress will be given upon request for students that come to class frequently. 

Students should have a basic understanding of 3rd grade math concepts before enrolling and will be asked to keep their video turned on unless otherwise instructed by the parents that it's ok to have it off.
