In this multi-day course, students will be introduced to fraction basics including, "parts of a fraction, visual representations, addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators, simplifying fractions, and finding equivalent fractions". This is a multi-day version of the "Fraction Basics 1: FLEX" course. Students will work on interactive notebook pages, a fraction workbook, and will have access to interactive games and tools throughout the course. Class 1: Students will learn about fractions and mixed numbers as they learn to identify the parts of a fraction. We will also work on showing visual representations of fractions and mixed numbers. Class 2: Students will work on finding equivalent fractions using multiplication. Class 3: Students will be adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators. Class 4: Students will use division to simplify basic fractions. Students will leave this course with a good understanding of what a fraction is, how to represent a fraction, how to simplify fractions, find equivalent fractions, and do basic addition and subtraction with fractions. For more operations with fractions and mixed numbers including adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators, multiplying fractions, and dividing fractions, check out "Fraction Basics 2."

Teacher expertise and credentials
Massachusetts Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello, and welcome to Outschool! My name is Ms. Kristin. I am a licensed elementary school teacher with my Masters Degree in Elementary Education for grades 1-6. I absolutely love teaching! I have taught grades 3, 4, and 5 in a brick-and-mortar school for over eight years and have been teaching online, too, for the past four years. As a classroom teacher, I have become very familiar with elementary subjects for grades 1-5 and their corresponding standards in math, English, reading, writing, science, social studies, and test prep. Familiarity with different grade levels allows me to differentiate my instruction and guide students to higher levels of thinking as they master grade-level concepts and seek to enhance their skills. My lessons are based on Common Core State Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards.

Educational Philosophy:
I believe that students succeed when they are engaged, valued, and when lessons are personalized in some way to each individual student. During each lesson, I use positive reinforcement and gentle guidance to ensure students feel safe sharing their ideas. I strive to foster an inclusive and relaxed classroom environment and encourage students to participate, learn from each other, and have fun with the materials.
I am excited to get the opportunity to teach your child, and hope to see them in the classroom soon!
