Math trial assessment
As with all subjects, students begin Math with a trial assessment. Use the provided slide deck to evaluate the learner’s understanding of key math concepts at their grade level: such as computation strategies, number sense, or problem solving. This session helps you pinpoint their strengths and growth areas so you can set personalized math goals and craft lessons that build both skill and confidence. Here is where you find all math trial slide decks.
Weekly math classes
Here is the pacing guide for weekly math classes:
- Introductions: Welcome your student back to class. Catch up with them before you get started. Ask how they’re doing or if they’ve read anything fun lately.
- Goal Review: Revisit previously set math goals or strategies to reinforce learning.
- Main Lesson: Dive into your planned math content. This might include direct instruction, guided practice, hands-on activities, math games, or real world problem solving.
- Wrap-up: Review what was covered, revisit your math goals, and share what’s coming in your next session.
Adding math as a subject

FAQ
Q: Who can I teach Math to?
A: You can tutor Math for students across all grade levels. Whether you're helping a young learner build number sense or supporting an older student with fractions, algebra, or geometry, you’ll work within your selected grades. Choose levels where you have experience and feel confident teaching.
Q: What topics will I cover in Math sessions?
A: Depending on the student’s grade, level and needs, you may work on:
- Number Sense: understanding numbers, counting, place value
- Operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division
- Algebraic Thinking: patterns, equations, expressions
- Geometry: shapes, spatial reasoning, properties
-
Measurement & Data: time, length, graphs, charts
Each lesson is customized to help the student master grade-appropriate skills while developing problem-solving strategies.
Q: What is the purpose of the Math trial assessment?
A: The trial helps you identify where the student currently is in their math journey. You’ll use the Math trial slide deck to assess their understanding and plan next steps.
Q: Do I need physical manipulatives for tutoring math?
A: Digital manipulatives, drawings, interactive whiteboards, and virtual games are all recommended. They are great tools for helping students visualize math concepts and stay engaged.
Q: Will there be a trial session for Math?
A: Yes! The trial session allows you to get to know your student, assess their current understanding, and build a strong foundation for future sessions. Use the Math slide deck provided to guide your assessment.
Q: Do I need to create Math goals for each student?
A: Yes! Setting clear, individualized goals helps track progress, keeps lessons focused, and gives students something to strive for in each session.
Q: Why are math goals important?
A: Goals help:
- Focus instruction on the student’s specific needs
- Make progress measurable and visible
- Keep students motivated and proud of their growth
- Create meaningful structure for each session
Q: Do I need to help families book after the trial session?
A: Yes! After you wrap up the trial, share your observations with the student and their family. Collaboratively set math goals and help them schedule their next session using the QR code provided in your trial slide deck.
