In this one-time class, students will be given the opportunity to practice their skills in identifying equivalent numbers. This will include any combination of fractions, improper fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, and percentages. Students will partake in a Kahoot! quiz that will include questions involving all the aforementioned number types. The quiz questions will provide students with a number of one type, and then ask for the equivalent in another type. (For example, students may be given a fraction and asked to find the equivalent decimal.) If any student gets a question wrong, the teacher will provide an explanation on how to obtain the correct answer. Students should be familiar with fractions, decimals, and percentages before enrolling in this class. (However, they do not need to be proficient, obviously! :) If you have any concerns about enrolling your student in this class, please feel free to reach out!

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a nuclear engineering graduate from South Carolina State University with a Bachelor's in Science. I began graduate school for a PhD in Nuclear Engineering, but due to health issues I decided to leave school and pursue my passions elsewhere--like here!
Thus, it may go without saying that a lot of classes I offer are math and science (particularly nuclear science) related.
If you have anything specific you would like to see a class on, please feel free to message me, and I will let you know if I feel comfortable teaching that topic (if I do, I will make it the next class I start offering!). Also, feel free to request class sections at other times than when I offer them; I will be sure to keep my availability updated and will be happy to see you at any of these times! If you have any questions, please feel free to message me.
Much of my teaching background is in tutoring. I have listings set up for private lessons, so feel free to message me if you are interested! You will notice that my classes are a lot shorter than others, both in the length of each meeting and the number of weeks my classes run. This is because I break up concepts into their integral parts so that students can come for exactly what they need help with and skip over the parts that they are superstars at. :) Therefore, be sure to read the class descriptions carefully and select the class(es) that will best help your student!
I hope to see you and your students in class soon!
