Hello👋and thank you for your interest in this Minecraft themed 5th grade math review class! I am so happy you are here.  

Does your learner need to refine their math skills from last school year? 

Or do you want your learner to keep the learning going this summer so that they feel fresh and confident for the new school year?

In this ongoing, weekly class, we will be reviewing 5th grade math skills through fun interactive activities and games with a Minecraft theme.   (The actual game, Minecraft, will not be played during this class.) 

Your learner will be begging to come back each week!

In my experience, making learning fun through games is one of the best ways to increase engagement while practicing and refining math skills.  

*EACH CLASS IS INDEPENDENT OF EACH OTHER AND STUDENTS ARE WELCOME TO JOIN THIS ONGOING CLASS AT ANY TIME. 👍

About My Teaching Style:
My teaching style is activation through a real-world problem or a hands on activity.  I also utilize the gradual release method, (I do, we do, you do).  In my years of teaching experience, I have found that students are all unique, and each class is unique.  My goal is to make learning fun and engaging.  I adapt the classroom and instruction to the needs of the students so that they can feel confident and are successful in math class and the learning goal is met.  I love teaching, and after 10 years in a brick and mortar setting, I am thrilled to be an Outschool teacher, and love the flexibility it offers to my students and the classroom design.

🤗Here's what parents are saying about my teaching style and other classes:

"Jennifer is wonderful with the kids... I've never seen my kids eager to attend a session,  so that's a BIG plus. My girls were excited to do the Kahoot activities at the end and for practice."

"My granddaughter has enjoyed this program. Pacing is great. All learners are participating. Good lesson and then she enjoys the kahoot game."

"This was a great class and the teacher kept it fun! I feel much better that my child will be more prepared for the school year and I think he does too. My son also really enjoyed the Kahoot! games at the end. I even think he enjoyed the additional Kahoot! challenges that were sent out after class as well. I would certainly like to sign my son up for this teacher again. Great experience!"
