This semester long math class is geared towards older students who would like to be with their peers, while they work out the intricacies of math. 

The learners will be introduced to a topic during the class session and then have follow-up activities to do during the week. While the class meets twice per week, families should be prepared to spend time daily, practicing math. Each week will include several pages of home-time learning, outside of class session time. 

The class will meet three times per week for 30 minute sessions and will utilize Singapore Math 5B, a world renowned math program.  Families are responsible for purchasing the required materials as students will have regular assignments.

Singapore Primary Math is an excellent series for those who want a fair amount of practice without excess busywork.

My classes focus heavily on the various tools, strategies,  and models available to students,  and we use these constantly during class to help them develop the ability to determine on their own, which tool or model best applies to a given situation. 

Students will be introduced to problems and solutions via the shared whiteboard. They will then be asked to solve problems on their own (with assistance given as needed), using the chat box feature. This allows all students to solve each problem. We review the solutions together, especially when it is clear students are not grasping a concept. Thus there is ample practice time for all students.

Students will cover the following topics:

Topic 1: Decimals 
Session 1: Approximation, Estimation, and Multiplication of Decimals
Session 2: Multiplication by a 2-digit Whole Number

Topic 2: Percentages
