次の学年への夏のカウントダウン: 4年生から9年生までの個別数学スキル構築

❕Note: This private tutoring experience is offered exclusively during the summer - June through August. Need extra Math support throughout the school year? Check out my course: "(School Year) Individualized Math Tutoring & Curriculum Support!" (*Includes Courses for Grades 4th-6th and Grades 7th-9th)
_____________________________________________________

Let's help your child review, rebuild, and even extend upon elementary and middle school math skills, grow as a logical thinker, and support their confidence as a mathematician along the way! The tutoring curriculum within this course has been designed to focus on building core elementary and middle school math skills applicable to a variety of grade levels (specifically Grades 4 through 9) and courses as well as offering flexibility to you and your child in selecting units that best fit their learning journey, needs, and interests. 

Throughout this 30-minute one-to-one private tutoring experience, your learner will receive individualized support from Ms. Ashley during each session in a way that best fits their strengths, needs, and current learning level or style as well as their short or long term math goals set by themselves and you in preparation for their new school year and upcoming math course.

🏆Ms. Ashley’s goals throughout tutoring are to (a) provide your learner with a variety of engaging, interactive learning tools and practice sets to support their understanding and review of previously learned math concepts, (b) share multiple representations and additional reteach explanations of skills that they may need extra support with, (c) use a variety of flexible solving methods to show them multiple ways to achieve logical answers, and (d) constantly encourage their confidence and growth as a learner! Although this class can be booked both as a one-time meeting or an ongoing recurring session, learners who meet with Ms. Ashley regularly will also experience frequent spiral reviews of previously practiced skills as an important tool to continue building knowledge and revisiting related skills even while learning new ones.

📑During each tutoring session, your learner will participate in the following learning activities with the support of Ms. Ashley along the way. Each activity will be tailored to meet your learner’s specific goals and will also be aligned to their former and upcoming grade level math curriculum. (*Note: Our first session together often incorporates an initial readiness assessment completed together to determine which skills your child has retained and which areas for growth we can begin working on together.)

☑️(Tutoring Activity 1) Guided Lesson - For the first 10 minutes of class, students will explore a guided, skill-specific lesson led by Ms. Ashley. Each lesson will be reflective of results from our initial readiness assessment OR one of the skills included within the curriculum unit that you and your child choose before our first session together (*see curriculum unit options below). Guided lessons will incorporate interactive virtual tools or online textbooks shared with students at the beginning of the session within which they can collaborate with Ms. Ashley during the learning process and have direct access to learning resources throughout the session.

☑️(Tutoring Activity 2) Monitored Practice - During the next 10 minutes of class, students will have the opportunity to explore what they have learned (with additional teacher support as needed) by immediately practicing their new skill using interactive virtual practice tools. Such practice sites may include (but are not limited to) Desmos, DeltaMath, Khan Academy, IXL, and/or SplashLearn. Virtual practice tools will be intentionally selected by Ms. Ashley to best support student practice, allow for solving collaboration between teacher and student, and also provide your child with immediate feedback as they solve.

☑️(Tutoring Activity 3) Independent Practice - For the final 10 minutes of class, students will have the opportunity to demonstrate their independent understanding of the session's new skill(s) by playing a skill-based virtual game using such platforms as ABCya!, Math Playground, Quizizz, Kahoot, and/or Gimkit. This provides students with a fun way to test their knowledge of the current skills and allows Ms. Ashley to see what progress has been made and what may still need to be revisited during the next session. (*An optional practice worksheet and answer key will then be sent to you and your child after class if you would like to continue their practice with the current skill in between tutoring sessions.)

Upon registering for this course, you and your child will have the flexibility to choose the curriculum unit(s) you would like your child to focus on throughout this summer tutoring experience. Regardless of the unit you choose, each lesson within the unit will follow the session structure above during each meeting. I encourage you to select the unit(s) that provide your child with the best review of skills they have previously struggled with or will help them extend their readiness and sharpen skills for their upcoming math course next school year.
