In this class, students will be given guided practice problems to find the sum and difference of two fractions with like and unlike denominators. We will focus on the "Butterfly Method" to add and subtract fractions. Students will be given immediate feedback and reteaching as needed during the class. Students who are not strong in multiplication will be able to use calculators. In order to practice the skill, students will participate in a fraction "Bamboozle" game. This class is good for 4th and 5th grade students who have struggled with adding and subtracting fractions. We will review the following Math words: -numerator -denominator -sum -difference
Students will need: -pencil -paper -calculator
Hello I am Mrs. Keyuanna Evans. I am the teacher your child will never forget!
I have a patient teaching approach and strongly believe in verbal praise, positive correction and having fun while learning. I hope to build students' confidence and inspire them to learn. As a teacher, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing a child engage and having that "Light bulb" moment when they understand something.
I graduated from Virginia State University with a Masters in Education with a focus in Special Education. I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in Health, Recreation and Physical Education. I have been teaching elementary school for over 17 years. I have taught students in general education and students in Special Education. I have taught in both private and charter school settings.
In my everyday life, I am a wife and mother of one sweet 14 year old girl. I enjoy watching movies and spending time with my family.
I hope to see you in one of my classes!
Your Favorite Teacher,
Mrs. Evans
