Attention: I have received many requests for a placement test for my classes so I created two.  This is for my classes for 4th through 8th grades.  I also have another one for my Algebra classes.  The link for that one is posted on the description for my Algebra 1 class.

In this flexible schedule class, students will learn:

Week 1 - How to find the GCF (greatest common factor) and LCM (Lowest Common Multiple) of 2 numbers and to reduce, add, and subtract fractions
Week 2 - How to multiply and divide fractions
Week 3 - How to add, subtract, and multiply decimals using traditional methods (the standard algorithm)
Week 4 - How to divide decimals

To be successful, it is very important that students know their multiplication tables.

A video will be posted at the beginning of each week.  Students should have paper and pencil while watching the videos as time will be added within the video to complete practice problems. 

A discussion question will be posted in the classroom each week and students will be encouraged to join in the discussion by answering the question(s) and replying to other students.  I will also be participating in the discussion. Math articles may also be used occasionally to facilitate class discussions.

In addition to homework problems, a quiz will be provided each week which students can turn in for grading and feedback. A picture of the quiz can be sent to me by uploading it to my Dropbox folder through the link I will give you. You do not have to have a Dropbox account to upload the homework to my folder. 

I use the gradual release method of teaching: " I do, we do, you do" 
- First, I demonstrate how to do it (using several examples).  
- Next, the students do some problems along with me.
- Finally, they complete some problems on their own that I will check for accuracy and give more guidance if needed.

Practice homework will be provided along with a full answer key for checking the answers.  However, there will be no answer key provided for the quizzes since I will be grading them to offer feedback. I always include every step in my answer keys so students and parents can see where any errors were made.
