Welcome to Fractions Fun! In this 3-day course, we will work with basic fractions, learning tips and tricks to gain confidence and skills working with basic fractions! This class is for students in 4th-6th grade that are just beginning to learn about fractions or need some additional support and practice to reinforce skills. I am a licensed Elementary teacher with 8 years of experience teaching 6th-grade math. I love working on foundational math skills with my students and aim to make my classes fun and dynamic. I use simple language, color coding, and lots of review and repetition to reinforce basic math skills. Students in my class should expect and fun and engaging lesson and some extra practice -- mastery does not come right away, but with regular practice and a safe and comfortable environment, students will begin to improve their confidence and ability in math. This course will be structured as follows: Day 1: - Simple lesson on representing and identifying fractions. For example, how can we represent a basic fraction numerically and pictorially. - Kahoot quiz game! Day 2: - Simple lesson on mixed and improper fractions. Some focus on converting fractions if there is time. - Kahoot quiz game! Day 3: - Adding and subtracting basic fractions with common denominators. Different denominators can be reviewed if there is time. - Kahoot quiz game! **Note** We will use Kahoot for the quiz game every class. Students can access Kahoot by opening a separate tab on their browser, or by downloading the Kahoot app on a second device (Phone, tablet, etc). Students should have a pencil and paper or a whiteboard to practice during class. They may also use a multiplication chart if needed.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their confidence and skills in working with basic fractions.

Hello! My name is Jessie and I am an Elementary Teacher and Mathematics Consultant from Canada. I grew up feeling like I wasn't a "math person" and had a hard time getting through Math class. Through my over 12 years of teaching Elementary Mathematics, I grew to love Math, and my enthusiasm for solving problems and helping kids is infectious!
I don't just teach kids to get the answers - I help them grow their brains!
When kids are struggling in math class, there can be a few things going on. Sometimes kids have gaps in their knowledge, and they need learning to slow down so they can reinforce some foundational skills. Sometimes they need more practice to grapple with numbers and learn to own new skills. And sometimes, kids need new strategies to reason and solve problems. I can help kids to learn math - REAL math, not fancy math tricks and procedures to follow. I help kids grow in math every day by building a solid foundation of numeracy skills, reinforcing strategies, and growing confidence by solving WILD problems they never thought they would be able to do!
Can you solve 39 X 456 in your head? If the answer is no, join my class... we'll get there, and go way beyond!
I have been teaching Grades 4-6 for over 12 years and have a Masters in Education, a BEd in Secondary Education, a BA in English. I currently work in a role supporting teachers with their math instruction, assessment, and meeting student's diverse needs.
In my free time I love taking photos, hiking in the Rocky Mountains, and playing with my Pug named Bentley! I can't wait to learn and have fun together in my classroom soon! I live by the belief that there is no such thing as a 'math person', andReviews
