OVERVIEW:
In this 5th Grade Math Enrichment class, students will learn the most critical Common Core Fifth Grade Standards through discussion, practice, and engaging activities. 

This ongoing class will be a great supplement to student academic learning. Students will learn multiple math skills and strategies. This class is perfect to preview concepts or as a review and extension to student learning. 

This class will be a great supplemental preview and/or review of 5th grade math standards through multiple math skills and strategies. This class is perfect for students who are in 5th grade for the 2024-2025 school year. There will be opportunities for additional at-home practice between classes, as well. Students may attend all weeks of this course or select the skills and strategies they wish to review/preview/extend.

LESSON STRUCTURE:
1. Introductions- We will review class expectations and our brain break game for the day. 
2. Teacher Instruction- Teacher will provide a mini-lesson for the topic of the day. 
3. Student Practice- Students will have the opportunity to practice the skill collaboratively and independently. Students will be provided individualized feedback throughout all independent and interactive activities.
•Additional practice problems may be provided at the end of each week to allow students additional opportunities for at-home practice.

CLASS EXPECTATIONS
My goal in all of my classes is to encourage participation from all learners in my classes.  I review the following expectations at the beginning of each class: 
1. Stay on mute unless you have raised your hand and/or Ms. Bria has called on you. (This will allow a respectful environment in which all students have the opportunity to participate fairly.)
2. Be kind to and patient with our classmates and teacher! (I always expect that students are at various levels of ability. I ask for students to be patient with one another to ensure that everyone has "think time". I will provide differentiated scaffolded questions to each learner and additional problems for fast finishers).
3. Annotate on the screen only when asked. (This course is interactive! Students will have the ability to annotate on the screen, if their device allows for this capability. They can also use a piece of paper to show their mathematical thinking as well.) 

SIBLINGS
Each learner that wants to participate must be enrolled in the class to be fair to all enrolled students. 

CLASS SIZE
In order to differentiate these lessons and provide adequate support to each learner, each of my math courses are limited to five students. I strive to provide quality math instruction to each learner, and I strongly believe that small group instruction is the best strategy.  Due to the nature of ongoing classes and the limited space in each of my courses, I am unable to give refunds to students when a class is missed. 

REFUNDS& TRANSFERS
Per Outschool's refund policy "Parents receive a full refund if they withdraw from a class or stop their ongoing class subscription within 24 hours of purchasing a class of any type. A full refund is also provided if a parent stops their ongoing class subscription within 24 hours of auto-renewal."
