Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6

This is the perfect class to start from the beginning to the end as it relates to fractions. We will review EVERYTHING from terminology, visual representations, simplifying, and common denominators - with plenty of practice using fractions with operations: adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. There are sessions that work with the same and different denominators, as well as one that reviews how to carry and borrow when adding and subtracting fractions. Learners can sign-up for the sessions that address their specific needs. This is a comprehensive course directed to help your learner become more confident when working with fractions. 

There is no pre-requisite knowledge required and the classes do not build on each other.  Students from grades 3-7 can participate in the course, depending on their skill level and interest.

Week 1  | Topic - Comparing Fractions. Discuss how to compare (greater, less, or equal to) and sort in ascending and descending.
Week 2  | Topic - Adding Fractions (without Regrouping). Add fractions with the same and different denominators.
Week 3 | Topic - Subtracting Fractions (without Regrouping). Subtract fractions with the same and different denominators.
Week 4   | Topic - Adding and Subtracting (with Regrouping). How to "carry" and "borrow" when adding and subtracting fractions.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Virginia Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education

Hello! My name is Ms. Ann and I have been a teacher for over a decade in the beautiful state of VA. I have taught several grades in both Elementary and Middle School. I love to teach. I think the best part of teaching is sharing my knowledge on a variety of subjects and helping students make connections to previous experiences or existing background knowledge.  

I am a certified teacher in all core subjects: math, history, science, and language arts (grades K-8, Algebra, and gifted education), but my love has always been Math. I believe that successful teaching includes building relationships, interest, and engagement with students. When students are interested in the topic, they are more willing to participate, ask questions, and ultimately master the content.

I hope to see you in class soon!
