Did you know that math can be fun?  With play, movement and teambuilding, your student can learn to love math! Supplemental to your curriculum at home, no matter what math program you use, this class will help your thriving or struggling student.  Introducing new concepts in a non-threatening fun environment, each week your student will learn more about topics which include: multiplication, division, factoring, fractions, decimals and geometry in a gentle way that’s not frustrating.  Using games and play to anchor in concepts you review at home, your student can learn to love math with this supplemental class.

This class has no assigned curriculum but is supplemental to whatever curriculum you are using.  We will create a set of multiplication cards that are to be used at home for reinforcement.

​ABOUT MICHELE

Michele loves seeing the light bulb moment when a student “gets it” and loves removing math fear by bringing fun into math learning.  Using various methods from whiteboards, to objects, to songs, she breaks down concepts into small manageable pieces. She found her passion for math as a teenager, but more importantly in high school she found her passion for Jesus and has been grateful to follow him for many years.  Graduating from Texas A&M University with a degree in Civil Engineering, she worked for 6 years in her field to earn her Professional Engineering License before she chose to become a stay-at-home mom.  

​Married to her best friend Scott for 30+ years, she home schooled her 3 children from kindergarten to graduation. Her children Justin, Nathan and Catherine have completed college degrees in Mathematics, Civil Engineering and Nursing.  And now Michele and her husband are enjoying life as grandparents! 

 While raising her kids, Michele taught many different subjects in several homeschooling groups over the years, but has taught math exclusively since 2014 and would love to help your child.

Conquer any fraction frustration with the help of Mrs. Small.  This class is geared for middle school students who want to build foundational math skills to better understand fractions, decimals, and percents; place value; order of operations; number lines; and more.  Either using your own curriculum or Saxon Math 7/6, this class will help middle-school students gain a solid foundation of algebraic reasoning and geometric skills as they prepare to move on to higher-level math.  Mrs. Small can also help eliminate math monsters by providing homework accountability to keep up with math lessons with either the syllabus provided or one completed by the parent.
