Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5
Whether you're on a quest to conquer fractions & decimals or turbocharge your understanding of these topics, this self-paced, asynchronous class is your ultimate guide! 📚✨ 

Dive into the world of comparing fractions, placing them on a number line, finding equivalents, and effortlessly converting fractions to decimals. Ensure your child is prepared to begin adding and subtracting fractions and decimals with these prerequisite skills. 

Students should already be able to identify and represent fractions of the whole (halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, eighths, & tenths). 

🚨**PLEASE NOTE --- this is a self-paced course, so there are NO scheduled live meetings. Students will learn through pre-recorded videos and independent activities. 

While there are no live lessons, this course allows learners who cannot participate in scheduled live classes due to scheduling conflicts or other reasons to build their math muscles.
