US Grade 6
This class is part of a series of classes meant to provide opportunities for students to review and practice math concepts taught in sixth grade. This class is the second of the series. Below is a list of concepts that we will be covering during this course. Day 1: Introduction to Percent Day 2: Converting Between Percents, Fractions, and Decimals Day 3: Percent of a Number Day 4: Calculating Percent Day 5: Ratios Day 6: Rates and Unit Rates Day 7: Proportions Day 8: Proportional Relationships on Graphs This class follows a "flipped" classroom model, where interactive videos introducing the concepts that will be covered in the next class meeting will be sent ahead of time. These video activities are optional, but are a good way to review concepts before the class meeting so that more of the meeting time can be spent practicing the concepts. After each live class meeting, an optional practice activity covering the previous lessons' topics will be send in order to provide more opportunities for independent practice. Please note that this is a multi-day class with a set schedule. Please review the entire schedule before enrolling, as missed classes will not be rescheduled or refunded. Thank you!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I have been teaching in the public school setting for the past fifteen years, and tutoring privately for the past six years. I have worked with students ranging from kindergarten to eighth grade in math, reading, writing mechanics, American History, and beginning Spanish. I especially enjoy working with students in small groups or individually, and have recently developed skills as an online educator due to school closures. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy watching television and movies, and traveling with my family.
