My Fractions Summer Boot Camp is designed to help students of all levels master the fundamentals of fractions. Through a series of engaging lessons and activities, students will learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions with ease. As an experienced instructor, I will guide students through the concepts step-by-step, providing personalized attention and support along the way. In addition to building foundational skills, students will also learn how to apply fractions to real-world scenarios, such as cooking, construction, and more. By the end of the program, students will have a solid understanding of fractions and the confidence to tackle any math problem that comes their way. Sign up today and give your child the gift of math mastery! During each class, I will explain various concepts and provide learners with the opportunity to practice individually. We will then review the answers and steps together as a class. I aim to make my classes interactive and enjoyable for all participants. In the final 5 minutes of each session, learners can ask questions and receive optional homework assignments. I have created YouTube videos that learners can use to assist with their homework or save for future reference. These videos can also be provided upon request. Here is the weekly schedule: - Week 1: Introduction to fractions, including improper, mixed, simplifying, and whole numbers. - Week 2: Adding fractions, including word problems. - Week 3: Subtracting fractions, including word problems. - Week 4: Multiplying fractions, including word problems. - Week 5: Dividing fractions, including word problems.
