Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 6
Sometimes a learner just doesn't get it the first or even second time around. This is a review course for learners who have studied the concept of fractions but need a review and practice to really master those concepts. 

What are fractions really? Why do learners need to know how to work fractions? How do fractions apply to a learner's every day life? Well, these are questions that will be asked and answer in this course.

This is a review course where learners will meet 2X a week for 4 weeks to review, practice and get a real understanding of how fractions work. 

Mastering Fractions - A Review Course for Grades 5 & 6 is great for learners who have some existing knowledge of fractions who may need a review, a better understanding of fractions and who want or need to master the concepts of fractions, what they really are,  how they work and how to solve them.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from Indiana University
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 or subtracting. 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.
