Course Description: This is a fundamental maths skills course for 5th grade. It follows priority standards for math skills essential for moving on to a middle school level. There are 8 units with lessons that focus on essential skills broken down to smaller parts for mastery. Each lesson will have a video lesson with direct instruction. There will be example problems as well as an independent practice page. The lessons are under 20 minutes to help with focus and the practice is targeted to the specific skill in each lesson. There is a short quiz at the end of each unit to check for understanding.

Course Goal: Math is an essential skill . I believe in finding a way to relate math to the real world. My goal is to teach real world skills and math that will help anyone find the confidence they need to learn math. I believe anyone can be successful in math if you practice and participate. I like to use some humor and fun when I teach math so get ready to have some fun while you learn.
Target Audience: This is a great course for a begining 5th grade math student as well as a great option for a 4th grader who may need a challenge here and there. The lessons are sequential and build on each other. Each concept has a 10-20 question practice page included that allows for ongoing assessment.
Requirements: Laptop, tablet or desktop computer can be used to watch lessons. All practice pages are in pdf format. I suggest you have a spiral notebook and use a pencil to take notes and work with me. I also encourage you to have your own smaller whitebord for practice problems and an easy way to work through longer or more complex work.
