Mathematics Teaching = Multi-dimensional approach with a focus on learning depth

• Asking Questions

• Flexible Thinking

• Forming Models

• Reasoning

• Problem Solving

• Communicating

• Connecting Ideas 

The critical areas of instruction in this class, instructional time, focuses on three critical areas: 

(1) Developing understanding and fluency with multi-digit multiplication and developing understanding of dividing to find quotients involving multi-digit dividends. 

(2) Developing an understanding of fraction equivalence, addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators, and multiplication of fractions by whole numbers. 

(3) Understanding that geometric figures can be analyzed and classified based on their properties, such as having parallel sides, perpendicular sides, particular angle measures, and symmetry.

Note: Students also work toward fluency in addition and subtraction within 1,000,000 using the standard algorithm. 

    If you notice that your student is earning 1s, in math, then PLEASE encourage them to ask questions. PLEASE do what needs to be done in order for them to be successful. PLEASE, If they are not turning in their work/redo-marked work, then they are not are not practicing math, and expect the\at they complete all assignments. If they don't practice, they will not learn what they are required to learn, so PLEASE expect that they practice, because this lack of math skills will compound to the next and all future years ahead and can lead to many missed concepts by adulthood. Answer this, how can they expect to stay competitive in college or the work force with this lacking skill? It starts early. Please stay on top of your student's academics by holding them accountable for their learning and expecting their best. 

WHY THIS ROOM IS DIFFERENT:

    There are many opportunities for success in this class. First, students have access to their recess and lunch periods where I offer assistance with all of their assignments. I also allow them to redo, makeup, or finish any assignment that they need-with assistance. I also allow students to redo any assignment that they did not perform as well as expected as many times as they need to be successful-also with assistance. Lastly, I also offer a daily review period of concepts. I call this period the In-Class Grading/Review period. Yes, that's right, I actually spend time reviewing materials from the previous day's lessons. If this is not enough for your student to be successful, then please Dojo message me so that we can discuss this further.

KEY

3 = They get it and can successfully do it alone consistently.

2 = They are getting it sometimes but get held up on occasion. 

1 = They don't get it yet.
