In this class, students will learn how to add and subtract fractions with common and uncommon denominators. We will practice finding the sum/difference of two fractions. We will practice simplifying the fractions by reducing them. The class will be broken down into sections: adding and subtracting fractions. I will break down each problem, modeling the mathematical process. Students will be given practice problems to work on in class. Students will utilize their peers as a resource, working together to find the solution to complicated problems. Students should have a basic understanding of multiplication.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of fractions with common and uncommon denominators.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am brick and mortar teacher gone rogue. I have been teaching for 12 years (8 years in a brick-and-mortar classroom setting and 4 years online). My passion is teaching English, from beginner reader to college level. I also enjoy teaching math for grades K-8. I have an M.Ed. in Education, specializing in reading and literacy. I also have my B.A. in English with a minor in political science and government. I am trained in curriculum development and Growth Mindset. I am also TESOL certified and have 5 years of SPED classroom experience.
I think it’s important to reach each student in my classroom, that’s why mixed media representation is highly incorporated in my teaching style. Students are engaged with a multi-sensory learning approach in my classroom. No matter how your student learns, I engage the visual, auditory, tactile and kinesthetic learner. I like to teach students by learning where they are - it makes them feel successful and confident! I meet them where they are academically and then bring their education and academics to an elevated level. I believe that abilities and prior knowledge play a big role in teaching, which means parent-teacher communication is a tool I use quite often. In fact, studies show that these things matter in a classroom and affect cognitive function and academic success.
Bottom line: I love to learn and I love to teach! It's like breathing for me!
I hope to see you in class! Reviews
