Intermediate Level
Learners will work with various presentations of fractions, equivalent fractions, and mixed numbers. We will use the four operations to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions with an "I do, we do, you do" presentation for practice. We will spiral review as the weeks go on to master each concept. Your learner will gain confidence in working with fractions that they can readily use as a supplement to their regular math class. The concepts presented in this class are vital to middle school mathematics and preparation for Pre-Algebra. We will use Canva for presentations. Week 1: Add and subtract fractions; Convert mixed numbers to fractions Week 2: Add and subtract with fractions review; Add and subtract mixed numbers; equivalent fractions; Least Common Multiple; Prime Numbers; Exponents Week 3: Multiply fractions; Add and subtract mixed number review Week 4: Divide fractions with the "keep, change, flip" method; Comprehensive review
Learning Goals
Learners will apply the four basic operations to fractions and mixed numbers over 4 weeks. These concepts are vital to middle school mathematics and preparation for Pre-Algebra/Algebra concepts.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Missouri Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
I have had students in the public and private school setting K-12 for over 25 years. I was an elementary public school teacher for 1st and 3rd grades for several years. I then taught 4th and 5th grades in private school for over a decade. I homeschooled my own children for several years through a local hybrid school. Currently, my time is spent in the private school setting teaching mathematics to middle and high school students, 7-12. I hold a current Master of Arts in Education degree from a large university in the state of Missouri.
