A Visual, Conceptual Introduction to Fractions That Makes Sense to Kids (1-On-1)

In this one-time, one-on-one class, I will introduce students to the concept of fractions. We will begin by defining fractions, and then we will practice drawing, naming, and writing basic fractions. If time permits, we will move to adding and multiplying unit fractions. As we practice these skills, I will encourage a positive view of math and share useful tips and suggestions that I have gathered during my 28 years as a National Board Certified elementary school teacher and my thorough training in the Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) approach to mathematics. 
	The 1-on-1 approach allows me to customize the class so that students can focus on the topics most relevant to them and work at their preferred pace. I can also address specific goals or needs a student might have. In addition, students can take this class more than once, and each time they can deepen their understanding of certain skills and concepts, gain additional practice, or shift to a different focus, such as equivalent fractions, comparing and ordering fractions, and adding and subtracting fractions. After each session, I will send a parent email reviewing the specific material we addressed and suggesting potential next steps should parents wish to enroll their child in one or more follow-up sessions.
