US Grade 6 - 8
This is a great class for middle schoolers who want to master their fraction skills. Knowing how to work with fractions is vital to a student's success in math class -- in high school and beyond. After these six lessons, your child will go into math class with more confidence. Structure of Classes: - begin with question of the day to get warmed up - discuss last class' homework - learn new concept - practice concept with anchor tasks - work together on problem set questions - HW assigned ***Students will get a copy of the whiteboard notes after each class*** Prerequisites: Students should have passed grade 5 math. I follow Fishtank Learning (fishtanklearning.org), a curriculum that has been reviewed by EdReports (https://www.edreports.org) and received high ratings for providing students with the skills and knowledge they will need to succeed in college and beyond. Fishtank is RELEVANT, RIGOROUS AND ADAPTABLE. Class Interaction: - I ASK THAT STUDENTS LEAVE THEIR VIDEOS ON DURING OUR LESSON. - This makes them active owners of their own learning. - The class becomes more student-driven.
Learning Goals
Students will master all operations with fractions.
