1st Grade Math
PRACTICING TO PRESERVE IT! 

Class Goal
My aim in every class is to create a positive and engaging environment that caters to every student's level.

Experience 
After obtaining my Masters Degree in Elementary Education in 2009, I taught 6th grade for five years followed by 3rd grade for another five years in a public school. During that time, I focused on tailoring my teaching to the individual needs of each student, ensuring that they received the support they needed to succeed. For the past three years, I have been teaching online, working with students of different ages across various platforms including Outschool.

Class Setting
In my class, I will be using my own custom-made worksheets and Google Slides to teach students. The class will begin with times tables as a warm-up activity, and then we will move on to an interactive lesson to learn or review the topic. We will work on several problems together, and then students will have the choice to work on a problem independently. While students are encouraged to work independently, they will not be forced to take on their own problems.


Who Is This Class For?
This class is designed for 1st graders, but can also be used for Kindergarteners who want to be challenged or as a review for 2nd graders.
