Description
Class Experience
Students will be taught: Every lesson will begin with a real-world problem that will help students make sense of what a decimal is and how to represent them accurately. Topics Covered: Day 1 students will develop models to represent decimals. Day 2 Students will solve word problems to create models of decimals and connect them to equations for addition. Day 3 Students will solve word problems to create models of decimals and connect them to equations for addition and subtractions. Day 4...
Students will learn how to create a model of a decimal using ten frames, label their decimal models, create equations that match their models, and connect their models to alternative models i.e. number lines and ratio tables.
I am offering a course on decimals because this is an area where many students, classroom teachers, and parents struggle to understand the concept at a deeper level. In addition, many textbooks and curriculums offer up inaccurate representations of fractions that can limit students' understanding and/or deliver conflicting ideas.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
4 hours 35 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
