Are you a 5th grader? Do you need to review or maintain your math skills? Do you like playing games in math class? Are you a visual learner? If so this is the class for you. This class is meant to review skills learned during the past school year. This is a multi-day class that will meet four times a week for one week. Each day will start with game time and move into hands-on instruction with practice activities. Game Time: We will play review games covering a variety of topics from your students previous grade level. Games may include tic, tac, toe, Memory, quick flash cards, and Jeopardy. Topics will include addition and subtraction of unlike denominator fractions, multi-digit multiplication & division, one and two step story problems, place value through the millions, and adding and subtracting of fractions and decimals (through the hundred thousandth place). All students will solve the problems on a sheet of paper or individual whiteboard. Hands-on Lesson Time: Lessons will be focused on basic fraction skills. Skills will include comparing fractions, fractions in simplest form, adding/subtracting fractions and multiply/divide fractions. Lessons will involve teacher demonstration and student participation using manipulatives and models. Models taught will involve drawing arrays, using number lines and repeated addition/subtraction. Teacher will use the I Do, We Do, You Do strategy for instruction. Students will watch the teacher demonstrate the strategy, then assist the teacher to complete an example, and lastly, complete an example on their own or in partnerships in Zoom breakout rooms. Partnerships will be set based on the student need and level as assessed during game play. Students will be given common core and standard algorithm strategies to use. Class 1- Comparing fractions using a number line and standard algorithm Class 2- Simplify fractions, converting from improper to mixed numbers and mixed numbers to improper fractions- using number lines, models and standard algorithm Class 3- Add and subtracting unlike denominator and mixed fractions- using number lines and standard algorithm Class 4- Multiply and divide fractions- using models, number lines and standard algorithm During Game time and Hands-on Lesson time students will have opportunities to share their strategies for solving the problem to teacher and fellow classmates. It is said that when you can teach someone a skill, that is when you have learned it yourself. Through sharing strategies students will be teaching the group and demonstrating their knowledge.
Learning Goals
Students will review skills from their previous school year involving fractions.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Tennessee Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Now offering private tutoring in all subjects through 1 on 1 30 minute ongoing sessions. Also available for one time homework help just send me a message to get it set up. 23 Years! I have been teaching 3-5th grade for 21 years and 8th grade science for the last three years. I am passionate about connecting the real world to what students are learning in the classroom with their interests and hobbies. I teach classes that reinforce skills in math through games and discussions, book clubs for those lovers of books, hands on inquiry lessons in science and real world experiences. Math games focus on fractions, multiplication and division. Book clubs will involve outside reading, in depth discussions during our class time, and hands on projects to make connections. Real world experience classes focusing on creating a budget for a vacation, and creating schedules to allow for time management. I am the teacher that relates your learning to your life. My three top interests outside of school are Disney, long distance running and Harry Potter. I have been long distance running for 15 years and of course bringing my two interests together I run at Disney! I can't wait to get to know your student.
