Class Experience

Fractions are everywhere!  The more students are comfortable with adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing them, the easier it will be to perform skills such as:  solving equations, evaluating formulas, or finding the probability of an event.

In this class, we will spend 5-15 minutes reviewing how to multiply and simplify fractions, as well as changing improper fractions to mixed numbers.  We will then spend the remainder of class solving a decoder puzzle (Moving Words)  I am a firm believer in giving students think time, so time will be given for students to work independently before we share answers as a group.  Instruction will be provided as needed, but students should have a basic understanding of how to add, subtract, multiply and divide before taking this class.

Learning Goals

By the end of the lesson, students will have reviewed:

-using the GCF to simplify fractions
-cross-cancelling before multiplying
-changing improper fractions to mixed numbers

I LOVE math!  I love finding creative and interesting ways to deliver instruction while helping students build their math sense.  After 25 years of teaching Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, and Algebra 2 to students with a variety of skill levels, including 5 years teaching online to students learning from home, I feel uniquely qualified to provide learners with the tools they need to become masters of mathematics!
