Beginner Level
This is a great class for learners who are new to fractions, or want to be able to discuss/visualize fractions. Students will discuss and compare the fractions to better understand numerators, denominators, and simplified fractions. We will then use these visuals to create a written fraction equation for each example. During this time we will use the visual to discuss what numerators and denominators are. I will use the screen share function and model how to group the numbers. Students will be able to interact with the Nearpod lessons we use for the classes. We will also play a fraction game at the end of class to review what we learned. Week 6/5: Introduction to fractions, fractions vocabulary with a focus on fraction, denominator, numerator. Week 6/12: Comparing, ordering and simplifying fractions, Equivalent Fractions Day one Week 6/19 : Comparing, ordering and simplifying fractions, Equivalent Fractions Day two Week 6/26 : GCF: Greatest Common Factor Week 7/3: Greatest Common Factor and Adding Fractions Week 7/10: Mixed Number, Improper fractions Adding mixed numbers Week of 7/17: Subtracting Fractions Week of 7/24: Review Day One Week of 7/31: Review Day Two
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of the main components of fractions. They will be able to identify fractions, add them, subtract them, and find equivalent fractions.
