This month's tips are focused on math strategies.
The website www.mathwire.com has some helpful instructional strategies for teaching math. (Actually, these could be used for other subjects, too.) I know that in my live Cyber++ class, the students especially like being allowed to use the whiteboards.
Here is a strategy tool list that breaks down math strategies with visuals. You can download it here:

Of course, it's been a long time since we were in elementary school, and the way math is taught now is probably different than what we remember! You can download a glossary here:

December RAMP Dates
Because of the vacations and Keystone testing, our RAMP schedule looks a little different for December. We will only have 2 sessions this month.
Wednesday, December 4th, 3:00-- Fractions (Math)
**NO RAMP WEEK OF DECEMBER 9TH DUE TO KEYSTONE TESTING**
Monday, December 16th, 3:00-- Time Order/Sequence of Events (Reading)
If you haven't come to RAMP before, I hope you will start! These hour-long sessions are a great time for the kids to interact with me and each other while practicing important skills. I try to make them as fun as possible! :)
**Please note that all RAMP sessions are recorded. I'm happy to answer general questions that you may have at the end of our sessions, but private questions/concerns are better addressed in an email.**
