Children will need a pencil and paper or a mini whiteboard and pen. Squared paper is great but plain is fine. 

It is very useful if learners are able to use basic Zoom tools such as the pen tool or the typing tool. By working through math problems in real time, helps to reinforce the process.

Nearpod is free with an account that parents / guardians will need to set up. Games will be interactive for the learner, support from the parent might be needed at first until learners get used to it but parents / guardians are always encouraged to check activities to ensure they are appropriate for their family’s needs.
