Having trouble with fractions? This class will help with understanding how to change mixed fractions to improper fractions and improper fractions to mixed fractions. I will also help students add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions. Students should have some understanding about basic fractions, common denominators, and least common multiple before starting this class. I use slide presentations to teach. I start off with understanding the mathematical vocabulary, then by model the concepts using examples. I have students try several problem examples together with me, and then students are expected to try several problems on their own for practice. I also make connections to the real world by using story problems to set up the operations with the concepts. I strongly encourage discussions and participation from the learners. There are worksheets attached that follow along with the lesson.

I'm Mrs. Essmeier, and I love teaching Mathematics. There are so many wonderful patterns to discover with numbers. Understanding why you use certain equations and how these concepts work is an important part of mathematics. My objective is to help my students to understand the connection between the math they learn and the real world in which they live. Mathematics is something you will use every day in one way or another. The more you know and understand, the more you will use.
I provide one on one tutoring for one, two, or three days for one week or ongoing. My tutoring includes the topics found in the curricula for most 6th through 10th grades - number sense, equations, functions, graphing, geometry, fractions, decimals, and more.
I teach Monday - Friday. Please contact me to request times (include time zone) and days available.
I retired from teaching school after 39 years, but I'm not tired of teaching. I've been on Outschool since the fall of 2020. My various degrees include a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education, a Masters degree in Mathematics Education, a Math Specialist enhanced level 2, and an ESL endorsement. My teaching experiences include grades 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th for 30 years. I then moved to the middle school and taught 7th and 8th grade for nine years.
I do hope to help many more learners understand and appreciation the beauty and need for mathematics.Reviews
