Beginner Level
In this course, students will dive into the fun and visual world of solving problems that will require them to think critically about polygons and fractions. Students will be taught the basic concepts of polygon attributes, partitioning polygons into equal parts, and how to identify unit fractions both within polygons and on a number line. These concepts are the stepping stones for polygons and fractions according to 3rd grade content standards and will better prepare them for more advanced problems in the future. At the end of this class, students will also have two intro to measurement classes where they will be able to also make the connection between unit fractions and the fractions on a ruler. In each class meeting, students will be given many opportunities to share out their thought process and interact with classmates to solve problems. Each class is also designed using the gradual release model which provides students with high support from the teacher in the beginning of the class and students are able to preform tasks independently by the end of the lesson. Following is a schedule of the first 14 weeks of class topics: Monday Class Schedule: 1. Open/Closed Shapes and Polygon Names AND Types of Angles in Polygons 2. Classifying Types of Triangles AND Classifying Types of Quadrilaterals 3. Partitioning Shapes into Equal Parts 4. Fractions on a Number Line 5. Equivalent Fractions with Shaded Figures 6. Comparing Fractions with Same Numerators and Same Denominators 7. Fractions Larger than 1 Whole 8. Fractions on a Ruler and Identifying Measurements 9. Measuring Objects (From Zero and Not From Zero)
Learning Goals
Students will understand the difference between open shapes, closed shapes, and polygons.Students will be able to understand attributes of polygons.

Hello Outschool families, and welcome to Teaching Done Different by Ashley Chambers!
A Message From the Founder:
As a current 3rd grade public school teacher of 5 years and a current Outschool teacher, I know that students simply learn different today than they did only a few years ago. This knowledge has required me to find creative and fun ways to provide Common Core curriculum to students in a different and refreshing ways that fits how kids learn today. When designing classes for Teaching Done Different it is always my aim to help students learn rigorous material in such a fun way that they don't even realize they are learning.Reviews
