We will practice several fraction concepts including, equivalency, comparing, adding, and subtracting. Using the different candy bars I will show how fractions are equivalent. Then we will compare the CANDY fractions. Finally, we will add or subtract them. Students will leave this extremely engaging class with the skills to construct a concrete visual of these CANDY fractions on paper to solve their equation or problem. Candy bars present students with a very concrete understanding of the value of these common fractions. I will guide and model the value of the fraction with candy. We will then construct that visual onto paper so students see the relationship between the fraction and its true value. This will be a fraction lesson your learner will NOT forget. Let's have some candy fraction fun! *Students do not need candy for this class. Teacher models with candy visuals. **Candy is optional if student prefers hands on experience.

Hello and thank you for visiting my teaching profile.
I have seventeen years of teaching experience in the public schools from kindergarten through fifth grade. I found Outschool as I was homeschooling my son last school year. I have, since then, fallen in love with all that Outschool has to offer and teach full-time and I'm loving every experience.
Though I have experience in teaching all core classes, my most favorite subject is....I can't choose, ha, ha!. Currently I offer reading comprehension, and writing classes as well as various classes teaching priority math concepts. I believe that if I LOVE teaching the class, then the learner will LOVE learning and in the end learning will take place. My lessons include visual models and manipulatives to engage students with learning in a concrete way. I also use graphic organizers and innovative teaching styles and strategies to support reading comprehension, writing and vocabulary concepts. I am patient and very enthusiastic. Last and kind of least, I love pizza and soccer! Ha ha!
I look forward to your learner joining some of my classes. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.Reviews
