In this ongoing math class, students will learn skills that will prepare them to understand various math concepts that are taught in first grade and expanded upon more in depth in further grades. Each week we will meet to cover a different skill using games, activities, and example problems. The first half of the session will serve as the introduction to the skill, the second will be the practice portion. The skills that will be covered are below. I will model how to work through each of the skills with Zoom whiteboard or manipulatives and google slides activities. 

The following topics will be covered week by week.
