Class Experience

In this delicious hands on course, students will learn how to make equivalent fractions using chocolate bars that are segmented into 12ths. Students will see and understand how 12/12 = 1, 6/12 = 1/2, 4/12 = 1/3, and 3/12 = 1/4 by breaking their own bars. The teacher will also use other manipulatives to show other equivalent fractions. We will practice adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators. Best of all, when students are finished using their chocolate bars for learning, they can enjoy a tasty treat. Yum!

Learning Goals

Students will gain a basic understanding of making equivalent fractions as well as adding and subtraction fractions with like denominators.

Other Details

Supply List
Any chocolate bar that is segmented into 12 pieces will work. Hershey's original full size or special dark works. Hershey's with almonds will not.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Christine, but in 2021, many of my learners started calling me by the nickname Ms. Wish after my gamer handle. I love it and it stuck! 

I am a former private school classroom teacher and current homeschooling mom. I have taught students from infants to senior citizens in various subjects, though I have a special affinity for video gaming, music, math, theater, and language. 

On Outschool, I teach mostly social gaming clubs as I have found a need for learners to socialize while playing their favorite online games in a safe and supervised environment. In these classes, students build important social skills needed to have fun and stay safe in an online gaming environment. I am a strong believer that much learning happens through play! Like Maria Montessori said "play is the work of the child." These days much play happens in the virtual world, and as a lifelong gamer I choose to embrace it! 

I have had a passion for teaching since I was in 3rd Grade and was selected for a program that allowed a few students to tutor 1st-grade students in reading and math. Since then, I have worked as a teacher/tutor my entire adult life. I have a Bachelor's in Liberal Studies with a concentration in music and have received training in the Kodaly Method of teaching music to young learners. My instrument of choice is my voice. 

I have a gentle and playful teaching style built on mutual respect. My favorite quote is from Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods, "Careful the things you say. Children will listen. Careful the things you do. Children will see and learn." 

When I am not teaching, I enjoy hiking and rediscovering the wonders of nature with my son.

I am looking forward to seeing your learner in class!
