Hands-on Learning=Mastery, Confidence, and Learning that Sticks!

This class helps students dive deeply into number sense in a hands-on way using physical or printable Montessori manipulatives, creating a firm mathematical foundation in numbers to the millions. 

Students who truly understand and master math concepts learn to love math, and we want our students to experience math in a hands-on way where they know they can try new things, make mistakes, and learn from them.  

Each class begins with a routine-oriented calendar time to help build number fluency, confidence, and class relationships.   Fun games and mathematical conversations help engage students and give them a natural way to apply concepts.  

We work with place value, addition and subtraction with and without regrouping (static and dynamic addition), skip counting, patterns, fractions, telling time, money, data and graphing, probability, basic and advanced multiplication, division, geometry, and measurement.  Every lesson and activity is planned to help students understand and apply what they are learning in a hands-on way!  We play games and frequently review so that we are constantly learning new skills while building mastery of older skills. 

Students need to have the actual manipulatives with them (or a provided printable version) as we work through lessons together.  There is a second camera used in class to show the teacher's table so that the students are guided through problems step by step, working toward independence.  This class can be used as review of 2nd grade math or for a 2nd or 3rd grade math class.  Each week of class is unique and students may stay all year or come in for the week they need.  

This schedule may be adapted to meet specific learner needs.

The summer version of this class meets one day a week. 

Many students are ready to move to to Level D at the completion of this course (https://outschool.com/classes/hands-on-montessori-inspired-advanced-math-level-d-level-d-2x-a-week-with-manipulatives-CFt9KJlQ?usid=6msWnIQO&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link) or may choose to retake Level C, depending on progress.  Class restarts the last week of August. 

Class Policies:
-All students need to have either printable or physical versions of the manipulatives needed for class to fully participate.
-I prefer videos on.  Students are often able to tilt their screens to show what they are working on at their tables so I can give feedback and answer questions. 
-I prefer students stay unmuted to help with participation, but sometimes, due to background noise or static from a connection, I may need to mute students.  Please help your child learn how to unmute so he/she can participate.  
-I am happy to share recordings for missed classes.  
-The students and I try very hard to create a supportive and respectful learning community. Students need to treat each other with kindness and respect.
