Below is the topic for each session of the course: Session 1: Defining Fractions and Mixed Numbers Session 2: Add and Subtract Fractions (Common Denominators) Session 3: Add and Subtract Fractions (Unlike Denominators) Session 4: Multiply Fractions Session 5: Divide Fractions Session 6: Decimal Place Value Session 7: Add and Subtract Decimals Session 8: Multiply and Divide Decimals Session 9: Percents Session 10: Converting between Fractions, Decimals, and Percents During class, students will begin with a warm-up question to gauge previous knowledge. Short lectures and example problems will be presented before students will be given time to practice guided problems. Students will be given approximately 5 homework questions at the conclusion of each session. During the following session, learners will have the opportunity to review their answers and ask questions to better their understanding. Students will have opportunities to interact with other classmates and will often use the Whiteboard Annotate feature on Zoom.
