Our 14th unit is from 5/1/2021 to 5/31/2021; the Sugar Land Branch Junior Support Program, led by Branch’s junior leader Alvin Zhou, has continued offering free lessons to Pre-K kids. We started the Singapore Math 2A class on 4/5/2021. The class is an introductory mathematics course for 2nd graders and below. We decided to teach forty lessons in total, which lasting from 4/5/2021 to 7/5/2021. Primary Math Book 2A teaches numbers, comparing, and place value to 100, addition and subtraction with/without renaming, measuring length in meters, centimeters, yards, feet and inches, measuring weight in kilograms, grams, pounds, ounces, multiplication, and dividing by 2 and 3. We expect that the concrete, visual approach will enable students to encounter math in a meaningful way. We wound teach three lessons each week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
During the 2nd week of the 14th unit from 5/9/2021 to 5/15/2021, Alvin organized the meetings and taught on 5/14; meanwhile, Fiona and Annabelle joined as presenters. Fiona taught Lesson 16 on 5/10; Annabelle taught Lesson 17 on 5/12; Alvin taught Lesson 18 on 5/14.
