Our number one mission at Moxie Learning is to make sure your children love learning and are gaining confidence throughout their time in our classes! Our students LOVE coming to our classes and yours will too (even if it is a subject they haven't enjoyed in the past). This series of 4 classes can be used as your student's sole math course for their year or as a supplement to another math class or curriculum. Students should have successfully completed a 2nd grade math course. 

We will work through the Singapore Math Curriculum which is aligned with the Common Core math standards. The Singapore Math curriculum is a very rigorous curriculum that demands a deep understanding of concepts from students. Often, our book will dive deeper into a concept than is required for the grade level. Our students often test above grade level after a year with us. 

In addition to Singapore Math, this class will utilize other activities and strategies to teach math such as number talks to improve student number sense, weekly multiplication practice. My teaching style is "I do, we do, you do" through this method, I will guide student learning to meet each student where they are at and differentiate their learning. 

Our classes become small families. It is important for students to come to class ready to participate in their learning with their cameras on and limited distractions around them. 

Here is a sample schedule of our class. I will adapt this schedule to fit the needs of the learners in each section. 

Weeks 1 & 2: 
-Place value to 10 000 and rounding 
Standards:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NBT.A.1
Use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100


Weeks 3 & 4:
-Mental math strategies for addition and subtraction
-Addition and subtraction word problems
Standards:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NBT.A.2
Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.

Weeks 5 & 6:
- Addition and subtraction with regrouping 
- Estimating sums and differences
Standards:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.NBT.A.2
