About the class:
This math course is designed to support students in mastering multiplication facts from 0 through 12 using patterns, rules, and mnemonic devices. Rather than following a strict order, we will focus on learning them by level of difficulty and patterns (please see the weekly lesson breakdown below). The class will be highly interactive, with plenty of discussions, modeling, and independent practice. It’s important for students to have a strong understanding of addition facts. Students should plan on dedicating 15 to 20 minutes to daily homework, as this structured practice will help them master one fact group before moving on to the next group in the next class. If students are unable to commit to the weekly work, this class may not be the best fit for them.
Class Format:
Our weekly live class meetings will be held via Zoom. Students will access their lessons, print worksheets, submit assignments, join discussions, and view their feedback through our classroom platform, Canvas.
I strive to keep our class sizes small so we will have between 4-6 learners in class. This is a good number for student interaction:)
The next class is scheduled for Wednesdays at 10:15 am CST starting on 1/14/25 and ending on 3/19. Please contact me to be put on the list of interested parents. Once we have 4 parents interested in having their child take this class, an email will be sent for registration. https://form.jotform.com/241617203748153
