Class Experience

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.

Parental Guidance
Parents can guide students to work on the homework assignments. Homework practice is a key to mastering each concept.
Supply List
Please bring a laptop, desktop or ipad to class.  You will need a mouse, touchpad or touchscreen in order to interact and write on the whiteboard.  Please also bring some paper, pencils and erasers to class.  A three-ring binder is a great idea for organizing class notes and homework practice.
