四年級數學介紹與複習

This class goes over basic standards based math concepts for 4th grade.  This class is ideal for 4th grade students who need extra reinforcement and practice but could also be for 5th grade students who might be struggling and need to strengthen their 4th grade mathematical concept foundation.  It could also be for a 3rd grade student who is looking to get ahead for next year.  I use the method of I-We-You where I first show how to do a problem, we do the next problem together, then they try it out independently.  This flow of teaching and learning is responsive to the students and what they feel comfortable and confident with.

The following weeks will be dependent on the learners' needs.
My presentations will be simple.  I do not want technology to interfere with the students' learning.  I will share my screen with problems and I will use my white board and markers to demonstrate.  Students will only be required to use a white board or paper and pencil to work out their problems.  Students will share their answers with me by showing and explaining what they have done or where they got stuck.  We work together as a team so if a child is stuck they need to let me know so I can clarify.  I will pace the class according to what I am noticing from the students.
