This class is taught in English.

The overall goals are that students develop a growth mindset about their math abilities, review & master 6th grade content at the same time!

Students will be able to …

Add, Subtract, Multiply & Divide with Decimals and Fractions
Round and Order Decimals
Convert Fractions to Equivalent Fractions
Solve Word problems with Decimals and Fractions

My first goal is for students to have a positive relationship with math.  Hopefully, I can build up their confidence and lower any stress around the subject.  I try to normalize mistakes and create a low pressure, supportive and fun class environment. 

I'm a Credentialed Middle and High School Math Teacher with 12 years teaching experience in grades 6 through 10 and a Master’s in Teaching.  

I started my career teaching middle school math and then moved up to high school.  I love teaching middle school after having taught high school because I have a very clear idea of where they are headed and exactly what they need to succeed in their first years of high school math.

0 - 1 hours per week outside of class

Frequency: included
Feedback: included
Details: I will give students extra practice to work on outside of class.  It will not be required but it is strongly suggested as these students are trying to master these skills and that requires consistent practice. Typically, the worksheet we start in class will have about half of the problems left for them to take home and try on their own.  Answer keys are always provided.
