Course Content: This is a support class to reinforce the math skills that children are learning at home. It will cover the four basic math functions; addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as work on math concepts such as time, measurement, charts, and graphs, place value, geometry shapes, money, and fractions. Hands-on experiences will be used through games, Math Manipulatives, songs, and crafts to learn the concepts.

Weekly Homework: Homework is assigned in support of the topic we are covering. Expect 15-20 minutes per day

Course Evaluation: Evaluation will be distributed 4 times per year based on student participation and homework.   If your child took Hands-On-Math last year, he is welcome to take the course again this year.  New concepts and lessons will be introduced each week this year!

Teacher’s Biography:   In 2002, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Houston majoring in Communications/Broadcast Journalism.  Shortly after graduation, I returned to college and received my Teaching Certificate.  I have been teaching in the public school system for six years and have enjoyed every moment of my tenure.  I've resided in the Pearland area for over 30 years, where I've met my husband and have had two beautiful children, ages 2 1/2 and 10 months.  I've been blessed with the wonderful opportunity to be able to use my skills in the home school setting.  I'm extremely excited to meet all the new faces in the upcoming school year and look forward to making special memories for both myself and your children.
