This is part 2 of a year-long class. New students may be accepted provided they meet with the teacher first and get approval.
This will be a fun class as we work consistently through the Math U See single and multiple digit Division book. No previous experience with division is required. However a good foundation in multiplication is necessary. I will be using the Math U See manipulatives, skip counting, dot to dot pages, and regular 5 minute math drills. I have 5 kids, have been homeschooling for 27 years, and teaching other students for about 15 years so I understand how different each student can be. As a teacher my goal is to help them succeed even if math is not their strongest subject. However, I have learned how vital the parent's role is in the student's success. Consistency is definitely the key in math! Therefore their assignments will consist of about 20 questions a day and 1 quiz a week. I'm looking forward to working together and getting to know you and you sweet student!
This is a two day a week class.

Schedule:
Description:
The game of Chess is 1500 years old and remains one of the most popular strategy games of all time. It is played in many places by all ages, all over the world. If this isn’t already exciting, it is also important to note that chess improves memory skills, social skills, perspective, creativity, and critical thinking. The Basics of Chess class will emphasize all of these skills plus teach healthy competition. The class is designed for the student who is just learning chess or has a basic idea and wants to improve skills. The board, set up, pieces, and strategies will be taught along with some healthy and fair competition.
Material fees will cover student's personal chess board and book.
This class is probably not for your student if….
your student is already very good at chess
your student is extremely competitive (sometimes students get upset losing, but if this is a consistent behavior the class will not be a good fit)
your student cannot sit still through a board game
your student is extremely talkative
