Welcome to Introduction to Fractions: A Step by Step Guide to Making Fractions Easy and Fun 

This class is designed as a comprehensive introduction and review of fractions starting with: "What is a fraction?"

In class 1 we will define numerators and denominators and practice writing and identifying common fractions. We'll also talk about why fractions are important in math and how easily we can convert between fractions and decimals. 

In class 2 we will learn about equivalent fractions. Students will learn tips and tricks to make this process easy and fun. We'll also talk about why simplifying fractions is an important step in making future math problems easier. 

In class 3 we will practice simplifying fractions by playing a fun and interactive game. Students will have fun working together to simplify fractions while increasing their confidence and efficiency. 

In class 4 we will learn about improper fractions and learn how to identify and write mixed numbers. We will also learn how to convert back and forth between improper fractions and mixed numbers. Students will discuss why both are often important. 

In class 5 we will learn how to find a common denominator between fractions. This is an important step that students need in order to more easily add and subtract fractions. We'll also work on comparing fractions using less than and greater than signs. 

In class 6 we will learn how to add fractions with the same denominator, and how to add fractions with different denominators. Students will be shown two different methods  for achieving the correct response. 

In class 7 we will learn how to subtract fractions with the same denominator, and how to subtract fractions with different denominators. Students will be shown two different methods  for achieving the correct response. 

In class 8 we will learn how to multiply fractions. 

In class9 we will learn how to divide fractions.

In class 10 we will practice what we’ve learned throughout the course with a fun game everyone can participate in. Students will also be encouraged to come to class prepared with any questions they would like to review. 

This class is the perfect introduction to students new to fractions. It is also a great review for students who may need additional support with fractions. In order to excel with fractions students should have a good understanding of their times table (1-10) and simple division (1-10). If students wish to review these prior to starting this class, or if you have any questions, please reach out to Teacher Mel.

See you in the classroom!
