Learn the Decimal System and how it works. Write numbers as large or as small as you want, you just have to know how using the decimal point. We use decimals every day while dealing with money, weight, length etc. Decimal numbers are used in situations where more precision is required than the whole numbers can provide. Learners will learn to explain how to use the decimal point to write numbers less than one, describe the relationship between place value and the decimal point, write and read numbers with decimal points. They will perform all four operations [addition, subtraction, multiplication and division] in decimal problems including word problems with real life scenarios. Since the decimal system is the most widely used numbering system in the world, it's ease of use, intuitive nature, and compatibility with other systems make it an ideal system for everyday use, as well as for more complex applications in science, mathematics, and computing. So now's the time for learners to master decimals before they enter middle school, high school, college and the world of work. This review course gets them ready. Mastering Decimals - A Review Course for Grades 5 & 6 is great for learners who have some existing knowledge of decimals who may need a review, a better understanding of decimals and who want or need to master the concepts of decimals, what they really are, how they work and how to solve them. Learners can begin at any time and repeat this course as many times as needed. *** Parent NOTE: When enrolling your learner, please be sure to check out the Supply List below and have your learner bring a magnetic white board, markers, eraser and magnetic Base Ten manipulatives to the first class so they're ready to work.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Being an educator for forty + years, I've taught all subjects to students K-8 which included math classes at all levels. I've taught special needs students and designed full curriculum for K-12 students. In addition, I have taught students online for seven years. When I was a young student, I thought I didn't like math because any thing above addition and subtraction seemed a little hard for me. The truth was, I didn't understand the fundamentals of math operations, even though I could calculate and get the right answers every time when adding, subtracting, multiplying or even dividing. This is why I am so passionate about learners understanding the concept and relationship to numbers and operations, because once they understand that, learners can build on the basic fundamentals taught and excel in Math and really begin to love it as I do now.Reviews
