Math

Mad Dog Math Facts Mastery (G1-6, Mrs. Kotoff) — The foundation for strong math literacy is math facts mastery. It is the gateway to fractions, which in turn, is the gateway to algebra. Students who master their addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts are better equipped to tackle higher-level math problems later on. The Mad Dog Math (MDM) System will help students learn tricks and techniques to make acquiring math facts simpler and easier. The MDM System, along with Marcy Cook Tile Cards and various math games, will be utilized in the classroom at three separate stations. Tricks and individual fact families (one per week) will be taught at the Teacher Station. Exciting math games to reinforce concepts will be played at the Math GamesStation. Analytical skills will be challenged at the Tile Station. This multi-level class will also be divided into groups according to grade level. Grades 1-2 will focus on addition and subtraction facts, while grades 3-6 will concentrate on multiplication and division facts. All students will move through the 3 stations each week to master facts at their own pace. Mom helpers will assist in overseeing two individual stations throughout the year. With hard work, deliberate intention, and repetition, students will gain confidence as each new fact family is mastered. If your child finds math frightening, laborious, or discouraging, then this is the class for him or her. If your child is in need of acquiring math facts, or moving from accuracy to automaticity (fast, accurate recall with very little thought), then this class is the answer. Teaching videos are available on Mrs. Kotoff's website (MadDogMath.com) to help parents understand the program and reinforce the math tricks at home. This class makes learning math facts fun!

Registration Fee: $29526-week scheduleMaterial Fee: $5 for miscellaneous classroom supplies

Recommended text or supplies:$$16 for flash cards & $68 per academic school year (both required) for the web-based version of the Mad Dog Math program called Mad Dog Math-ANYWHERE. (Can be accessed by PC’s, Mac’s, and tablets). Purchasing information will be provided by the instructor.

Mrs. Julie Kotoff taught in Christian schools for most of her teaching career with one year in a Compton public school. She also worked as an administrator at Calvary Chapel's MCA, mentoring teachers and coordinating curriculum from kindergarten through sixth grade. Because of her fervent desire to help students succeed in math, she developed and perfected MAD DOG MATH. An exciting, motivating, and challenging program to help students commit math facts to memory. She is currently using her expertise to cultivate a solid foundation of math skills for home school students.

Beyond Math Facts (G4-8, Mrs. Halverson) — This course builds and reinforces previously mastered addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division math facts, and familiarizes students with higher-level math skills, in a fun, stress-free environment. The “Right Start” Mathematics program uses a system of games, from grouping numbers into fives and tens, to equivalency conversions (1/2 = .5 = 50%), for quick recognition of quantities. Interesting and engaging group games provide varied repetition that is needed to build automatic responses to math facts and concepts. Games create a stress-free atmosphere where students at multiple grade levels are allowed to learn at their own pace. Each student’s ability and math level will be considered. As a supplement to any math curriculum, students will participate in a variety of group math games that are both kinesthetic and visual,utilizing Right Start, Math Card Games and a variety of others. The Right Start Program provides up to 300 unique games that help students think critically and apply math concepts, such as number sense, +, -, x, div, fractions, decimals, and percentages. Instruction will be provided, and rules clearly explained, prior to each game or activity. Students build automaticity (fast, accurate recall with very little thought), and knowledge of math concepts that are appropriate to their skill level. Right Start has its own mathcurriculum, but it is not required for student participation in class. Beyond Math Facts games compliment any math program. Students will be given a short math facts assessment to fill out on the first day of class, and games will be chosen accordingly.

American Literature (HS, Mrs. McGlothlin) — The American Literature class will include the reading of selected books included in the Exploring American History curriculum by Notgrass and/or other historically relevant titles with literary value. The publisher describes the curriculum as “an American history high school curriculum combining American history, American literature, and Bible”. It will give your high school student a rich understanding of our nation's past while reading the history narrative and classic

16

American literature, completing writing assignments, and studying what the Bible says about issues and ideas in American history”.Students wishing to also cover the history lessons and assignments will need to enroll in the American History class (see AmericanHistory high school course description). While students are not required to take both courses simultaneously, concurrent enrollment will ensure that both history and literature are adequately covered for transcript purposes. As the students read various selections from American literature, they will not only learn how to analyze the material, but will develop their critical thinking skills as well. Through literary analysis worksheets, they will become increasingly familiar with genre, setting, major and minor themes, tone, point of view, and the elements of the plot such as exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. The students will learn to identify literary devices such as motifs, symbols, metaphor, simile, foreshadowing, suspense, imagery, irony, humor, and more. The construction of a five-paragraph literary analysis will be taught in which the students will learn to express their understanding and opinions of the books. The best way to encourage writing is to meet each student at their writing level and positively reinforce their work while showing them step-by-step how to improve. The students will learn how to recognize the worldview of the author, and how it serves to evidence itself within the literary work. Students will read approximately 5-7 literary classics such as (but not limited to): The Scarlet Letter, The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Huckleberry Finn or Tom Sawyer, Across Five Aprils, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Great Gatsby, My Antonio, The Giver, and selected classic American poems and short stories. Of course, there will be thought provoking class discussions, and we will always use the literature to point toward our glorious God.
