Help your kids master their Math Facts - and enjoy learning!

This course helps kids develop a deep understanding of how numbers work, then build on that foundation to confidently and competently learn to add, subtract, multiply, and divide.

This self-paced math course will help kids develop:

A strong number sense
a love for learning
Confidence in their own ability to do math
NEW update! starting next fall, I will be offering this as a hybrid course, with weekly live office hours in addition to the self-paced course. See more and register* here:

Developing Number Sense Using Ten Frames

The complete course covers fundamental Math concepts from PreK - 3rd grade Math, but can be taught (and learned!) in a much more condensed time frame.


Through video lessons, hands-on activities, printable games and practice templates, puzzles, online quizzes, and much more, kids will be completely engaged in the learning process!

Rather watch than read?

This 3 minute video explains the highlights of the complete course for kids.

WHAT IS THIS COURSE ABOUT?

Developing Number Sense
Part 1:

Counting, Addition, & Subtraction

Developing Number Sense
Part 2:

Review of Part 1, Multiplication, & Division

Complete course 

(Part 1 & Part 2)


In Part 1 of this course, students will work with ten frames to:

sUBITIZE NUMBERS

Instantly recognize amounts of objects arranged in groups of 1's, 5's, and 10's.

CONSTRUCT & DECONSTRUCT NUMBERS

"Build" numbers in groups of 1's, 5s', and 10's, then "break them apart" back into smaller groups.


Add & Subtract

Learn to add and subtract within 1,000 using ten frame strategies to build deep understanding.


In Part 2 of this course, students will work with an abacus to:

multiply

Learn strategies that enable students to understand how multiplication works - first through hands-on activities, then transitioning into "Math Talk" equations and mental math.

divide

See how division is "backwards multiplication," practice with big numbers, and learn tricks for recognizing factors.

only 2

Spoiler alert ... ;)

Students will only need to memorize their 2's facts (up through 2x10) in order to multiply any numbers in the world. (More details in the free lesson!)


... And they will use all these strategies to deeply understand how to work with numbers WITHOUT

  • relying on memorization of facts, or
  • simply using algorithms to borrow and carry numbers.

Who is this course for?

part 1 is perfect for
*  4-7 year olds who are just beginning to learn Math, or

* students of any age who are struggling with addition and subtraction

Once kids can count to 20 and understand one-to-one correspondence, they are ready to begin developing number sense through a strategic, interactive use of ten frames.


This course will lay a foundation that will help children "own" their understanding as they advance through all future Math concepts.

part 2 is perfect for
*  Kids approximately 7 years old and up

*  Students of any age who are struggling with their Math facts

Part 2 also includes a "sped-up" version of Part 1 that is more age-appropriate for older kids. This quickly lays a foundation in number sense to help kids advance to high level concepts.

so they can confidently advance through higher levels of Math.

Hands-On Math

This course is built around hands-on activities and guided lessons that help kids discover how Math works, through the use of:

"Bite-sized" video tutorials

Reusable practice templates

Hands-on activities

Graphic organizers

Math games

Puzzles

Online quizzes

And more!

& Hands-Off Math

This program is designed to be hands-on for students but as "hands-off" for parents as possible. :)

The video lessons teach the concepts, the activities provide structured practice to help students work through concepts, and the interactive, self-grading quizzes allow kids to check their own progress.


In addition, you will find the following tools that help make this a low-prep course for parents:

Pacing Guide

A suggested pacing guide that breaks the entire course into 10-20 minute sessions with built-in daily review

Table of Contents

A checklist version of the TOC at the front of the all-in-one activity guide that guides you through the course

Skills Checklist

A skills checklist for each lesson to ensure students are mastering the skills, not just moving through the course ;)

NEW update! starting next fall, I will be offering this as a hybrid course, with weekly live office hours in addition to the self-paced course. See more and register* here:
