Beginner Level
In this class, students will learn the basic concept of fractions using their love of Minecraft. STUDENTS WILL NOT PLAY THE GAME MINECRAFT IN THIS CLASS. This is a Minecraft themed lesson. We will be reviewing fractions as (a whole). This class is designed to be either a remedial lesson or an introduction lesson to fractions as a whole. Students' prior knowledge of fractions can be minimal to none. Students will need to know addition. This class begins with students watching/listening to a short power point slide to introduce the concepts taught in the lesson. Students will then participate in activities as a class to demonstrate fractions as a whole. We will be writing fractions and drawing pictures! The class will finish off with an independent activity using Kahoot. This activity serves as a review of all the concepts taught in the lesson. It is recommended that students use a second device (cell phone, iPad, tablet) for Kahoot. Further instructions on Kahoot will be sent to enrolled students. *(If you do not see a time posted for this class that works for you, please feel free to contact me and request a time. You can write a message listing the specific time. I will try my best to grant your request.)
