US Grade 5 - 7

Do you like jokes and riddles? Do you like to solve riddles and jokes while doing your math page? Then this class is for you!

This self-paced grade 6 math class includes 2 lessons and 2 printables (worksheets) each week, for a total of 10 lessons and 10 printables! Each lesson consists of a video that is 9-15 minutes long and a printable. In the video, I will clearly explain the math concept, model the math concept, and give you a time to try the math concept. I will clearly explain all of the 'try it!' problems step by step. Parents or children should pause the video at this time, complete the math example, then unpause to watch the steps for the answer. After that, it is independent work time, where you will pause the video to complete the math joke or riddle page. Pages are self-correcting, so you can check your answers with the answer to the joke or riddle as you complete the page. Answers are also shown at the end of the video. All of the riddles and jokes are spring related in this class, and cover sixth grade math standards.

The total time for each lesson will range from 20-35 minutes, depending on the pace of your child and the difficulty of the math concept.

Concepts included are:
lesson 1: Greatest common factor (GCF) and least common multiple (LCM)
lesson 2: Simplify fractions and write equivalent fractions
lesson 3: Mixed numbers to improper fractions and improper fractions to mixed numbers
lesson 4: Multiply fractions times whole numbers or fractions
lesson 5: Multiply fractions by mixed numbers
lesson 6: Multiply mixed numbers by mixed numbers
lesson 7:  Divide fractions and whole numbers
lesson 8: Divide fractions by fractions
lesson 9: Divide fractions by mixed numbers
lesson 10: Problem solving. 

Direct, explicit instruction and Singapore math methods are used to teach the concepts.
