We will begin by reading a fun read-aloud about comparing fractions. We will them practice comparing fractions by finding the LCM (Least Common Multiple) and creating fractions with common denominators. We will finish with a quick game where everyone gets a fraction, and see if we can get them all in order. The children will listen to the read-aloud or follow along in their book (best method). They will then watch as I explain the slides. Finally, they will get a chance to practice by drawing number lines and placing fractions on them. Children will need to know their multiplication times tables, a little about fractions, and be able to make equivalent fractions.
Learning Goals
Compare two fractions to see which is greater.
Order three or more fractions from smallest to largest.

Hi, I'm Rachel Capes! 🌟
I have an Early Childhood Degree and a Master's in Literacy. I spent 12 amazing years teaching 4th and 5th graders, and Kindergarten SPED in public schools. I even got to be a math and literacy coach!
Now, I homeschool my four wonderful kids. One is gifted, two are right where they should be, and one has a learning disability. This time at home has given me a deeper understanding of all learning styles.
I believe learning should be hands-on and fun! Kids should be excited about math and reading.
In math, we use manipulatives, drawing, and algorithms to make learning engaging. When we meet more than once, kids get to share how they solved problems and explain their thinking.
In reading, we dive into books, discuss vocabulary, explore literary elements, analyze characters and plots, and make predictions. Everyone gets to share their thoughts and opinions while respecting others'.
I love to read, be outdoors with my kids, and this year we're learning to garden together. 🌱
I also teach World History and Geography at an accredited homeschool group.
Let's make learning an adventure! 🎉📚✨Reviews
