Build, learn, and master basic fractions with fun, interactive brick activities all semester. Through hands-on activities we’ll explore parts of fractions, adding/subtracting fractions, factors, mixed numbers, and more!
Class Experience
Join us for a hands-on course where we’ll utilize engaging hands-on activities with Legos to provide participants with a strong foundation of basic fractions. This course covers basic fractions and provides learners with a strong foundation to build upon when they begin more complex work with fractions. Our hands-on approach makes adding and subtracting fractions a snap! Please see the syllabus for a breakdown of everything covered week-by-week-in this course. REFUND POLICY: Hub of...

- Participants in this class will build a strong foundation of mathematical concepts that will be essential for their growth in this subject area.
Assessment
Frequency: Available upon requestDetails: Parents may request evaluation feedback on learner participation and demonstration of understanding. These points will be evaluated through class participation.
To be successful in this class, learners must have a strong grasp on their multiplication tables.
To successfully participate in class, learners will need a student workbook to utilize throughout the semester. Parents have the option to purchase the book printed or purchase a PDF download and print it at home. Printed workbook: https://www.brickmathseries.com/store/p3/basic-fractions-student.html PDF workbook to be printed at home: https://www.brickmathseries.com/store/p4/Basic_Fractions_Using_LEGO%C2%AE_Bricks%E2%80%94Student_Edition_%28PDF%29.html Learners will need an assortment of bricks each week in class. Brick Math sells a kit that is complete with the full variety of options needed for the activities in class. There’s an option to purchase that here: https://www.brickmathseries.com/store/p17/brick-set.html However, we will also let you know weekly which bricks we’ll be using in class, so you learner can pull from their current stash if that’s preferred. All learners will need a baseplate for their work surface. If you purchase the kit, it will come with it. If you plan to use bricks from home, please ensure you have a baseplate that is at least 6”x6”. Something like this is ideal: https://a.co/d/bj0PJZv
