每週 1-2 小時. Homework will be assigned weekly and I will monitor students between classes, and even communicate with them through the program itself while they are working when scheduled. I can designate weekly class check-ins if needed. Generally speaking, homework that is assigned on a Monday, for example, would not be due until the following Monday. However, this can be flexible when circumstances require it. Assignments will be differentiated, and there are always ways to remediate, practice grade level concepts, or move ahead. THIS HOMEWORK IS NECESSARY to move learning forward.評估
The student will be assessed by the completion of their assigned online work. Grading is instantaneous and visible by the teacher, as well as by the parents and students. Missed problems will be explained instantaneously via the program. I can also monitor student work remotely as they work and offer suggestions in real time. This aspect does not require video conferencing. It is done through my digital math platform, a simply awesome feature. That time would be arranged via email and a determined time to watch the student work could be established. There will be no waiting from class to class to see progress. Misconceptions that may result will provide teacher/student dialog in the next class. Again, the classwork will be differentiated. Students who need more time on a concept will receive it. Those who need challenge can move ahead if desired. I will monitor all aspects of success and struggle and parents will be able to see their student's progress as well. Students will be required to strive for an 80% on each learning target that has been taught and then assigned. This demonstrates a baseline of mastery of the concept for the teacher. If desired, students can move beyond 80% as the questions often become more rigorous. A diagnostic aspect of my program will allow me to see areas of strength and weakness and communicate with parents regarding specific points of need or challenge.等級

This 6th grade math course will benefit homeschoolers and students in public or private school settings when they partner with me, their math specialist, for learning, weekly support and success! This class is GEOMETRY, Part D. It can function as a stand-alone class, or as part of series that is listed by "Math You Can Do" that encompasses a full school year of math curriculum for 6th graders. Students needing remediation, on grade level practice, or above grade level challenge will also benefit from the material that is taught in these small classes. This course, GEOMETRY, PART D, is one section in a series of courses that cover 5 strands of mathematics necessary for students in grade 6th. This course will help students continue to build their number sense, skill, confidence and computational efficiency, as well as develop understanding of geometric concepts by solving area, surface area, perimeter and volume for some of the basic polygons and also compound figures. This course can also be offered as private tutoring. Private tutoring fees would apply. This is Math You Can Do by Michael Thurman. What Will Be Taught Geometry Week 1 Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, surface area and volume. 6.G.1 The student will find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and quadrilaterals; apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems. Homework: Area of triangles (6-FF.6) Area of trapezoids (6-FF.8) Area of quadrilaterals (6-FF.10) Area of compound figures (6-FF.11) Area of compound figures with triangles (6-FF.12) Week 2 6.G.2 The student will find the volume of a right rectangular prism with rational number edge lengths. Apply the formulas V =lwh and V = bh to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with rational number edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems. Homework: Volume of cubes and rectangular prisms (6-FF.18) Volume of cubes and rectangular prisms: word problems (6-FF.20) and 6.G.3 The student will draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems. Homework: Area and perimeter of squares and rectangles on the coordinate plane (6-X.8) Graph triangles and quadrilaterals (6-CC.8) and finally, 6.G.4 The student will classify three-dimensional figures including cubes, prisms, pyramids, cones and spheres. Homework: Which figure is being described? (6-EE.2)
學習目標
The goal of the initial class for NEW students, Week 1, is to introduce and learn the format and interactive program which will be used for this 2 week course. (For returning students, we will jump right into the first topics listed on the syllabus, Week 1.) New students will interact, be able to ask questions and gain experience using my interactive program. I will introduce all aspects of my one-hour-per-week class period; fact fluency, computational fluency and the specific targeted skills for this particular class, and then explain how students can use my interactive math program to practice what they learn between scheduled classes. This will only take a few minutes, and then, we will dive into the concepts to be taught for Week 1 (see syllabus above). The following week is detailed in "Class Experience." Subsequent courses, usually 4 to 11 weeks in length, are listed (or will be soon) and cover the other strands of mathematics: Ratios and Proportions, The Number System, Expressions and Equations, Geometry and Statistics and Probability. This course can stand alone, provide extra support or be a part of sequential learning, depending on the need or desire. Conceptualization of math topics is always key, producing an outcome of understanding, efficiency and accuracy. This course will primarily focus on geometric concepts necessary for 6th graders. See summary above for samples of concepts covered.
其他詳情
父母的引導和規範
Parents, www.ixl.com is used to practice concepts after my weekly instruction has concluded. This is where students will do their homework. A free subscription is included with enrollment, as long as students are enrolled in my courses that require its usage. Not all of my published courses require it, only private tutoring and my multi-week courses need it.
供應清單
Paper and pencil is required, of course, and a device to access a student's online subscription (math homework) is needed. Subscriptions for IXL will be PROVIDED BY ME and included when students enroll with no cost to parents. Students will have access to their IXL subscriptions as long as they are enrolled in my classes that are offered and are actively participating in them. There are NO books, worksheets, etc. needed; no paperwork to be kept. Simple, Neat and Mobile! Take your class with you anywhere you want. There will be a cap size of 6 students per class creating an ideal learning environment. There are continuous, sequential math courses offered by Math You Can Do entitled, "A Creative, Interactive Math Journey...Together, We Can Do This!". Again, these courses can easily provide all of the mathematical training needed for families who homeschool, as well as provide help and support in traditional settings.

Hi, there! My name is Mr. Thurman and I enjoy teaching math. And, at “Math You Can Do” we’re always cooking up some good “recipes” for a tasty math experience! I was a public and private school educator for 36 years, and have experience teaching 3rd through 6th grade math. I was a principal for 5 years too, but I must say, it is much more fun and rewarding to teach. I have undergraduate degrees in music and in elementary education from Western Kentucky University. As well, I have a master's degree in Educational Leadership from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, and a theology degree from Bethany Global University. I am offering math classes for 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th graders because, for the last 20 years of my career, I have been doing just that, working as a math specialist for intermediate students. We will be using a fun math program which allows me to teach you, and then monitor your work when we're not in class together, enabling me to see just where I can best help you until we meet again. I can even communicate with you while you are working between our online classes. And yes, you can and WILL excel in math!! You might even learn to love it! (Conceptual Math producing Efficiency and Accuracy)
If you had asked me when I was your age, students, if I wanted to be a math teacher when I grew up, I would have said, "NO!" I had to work hard at math when I was young, and, to be quite honest, I don't think some of my teachers really knew how best to teach the subject. Here's the big idea I share with my students: LEARNING TAKES PLACE OVER TIME! It can't be rushed...especially with math. Our class motto will be," Learning takes place over time AND it's all about the effort!"
My wife is a music teacher and we have 3 grown daughters. We played music together as a family for many years and performed 45 concerts in 5 countries in Europe. Now, we have 9 grandchildren, 4 boys and 5 girls. I have been a professional musician for many years now and play french horn in Orchestra Kentucky of Bowling Green and we perform lots of concerts. We have a little Yorkie named Sir James Paul McCartney Thurman. We call him Paul and I don't think he knows he's a dog! 😃
