Beginner Level
In this class, the basics of fractions will be taken to the next level. Learners should have a clear understanding of what a fraction is, how to add and subtract fractions with the same denominator, and how to use fractions strips or pictures to find simple equivalent fractions for fractions up to the sixths. This is covered in part I of this class. If they haven't taken Part I but are familiar with these concepts they may still sign up for this class. This class will focus on continuing to read and recognize fractions both by picture, number, and word form, continuing to work on equivalent fractions, comparing fractions, recognizing fractions of a set, order fractions on a number line, fractions as whole numbers greater than 1, and improper fractions. These are generally 3rd grade level standards, although grade may vary based upon learner readiness. A breakdown of this class is included below. Week 1: Read, writing, and drawing fractions/ Fractions as a number set Week 2: Make a Whole/ Make a whole greater than 1 (mixed numbers) Week 3: Comparing Fractions/ Ordering fractions on a number line Week 4: Order fractions on a number line cont'd/ Equivalent fractions with pictures, without, and as whole numbers

Welcome! Greater Gains Tutoring was started by Julie Chamberlin when she embarked on her Outschool journey as a teacher about 2 years ago. Since then, her classes have taken off, so much so that she became an organization and added on some other teachers to help more students learn and grow.

Having helped many students have successes and gains in their education, we are confident in our classes and our abilities to help your learner make great strides.

About the Founder, Julie Chamberlin: I am currently a part time stay at home mom part time reading teacher that loves teaching. I have a background in Elementary Education specializing in grades K-6. I am also working on my Masters degree in Curriculum Instruction with a Reading Endorsement. In addition to Outschool, I currently tutor all ages and subjects in my spare time. I love teaching English to second language learners as well. As a homeschooling mama of four, I am able to combine my passion of being with my children and teaching together so it's a win win for everyone! When I have free time, you can find me reading a book, listening to music, or playing the piano. As a family we also like watch sports, play games, and take walks together. Life is an adventure, and I love learning and exploring something new each day. I hope I can help instill that love of learning in your learner as well.
