💯 If you have made it this far you must be interested in having your student learn ratios and proportions in ways that make sense and generate understanding that goes above and beyond what is taught in a typical middle school classroom! The connections and patterns taught in this self-paced class are so important. They connect ratios to previous understanding (equivalent fractions) and to future understanding (linear equations). This class is taught in four 15-20 minute videos along with three extra videos that clearly model and work out the homework. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the four weeks your student will be taught the following important ("Major Work" for 6th & 7th grade) standards.

Math Common Core Standards Met:
6.RP.A Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems
-- 6.RP.A.1 Understand the concept of ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities
-- 6.RP.A.2 Understand the concept of a unit rate
-- 6.RP.A.3 Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of 
                   equivalent ratios and double number line diagrams
7.RP.A Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems
-- 7.RP.A.1 Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions
-- 7.RP.A.2 Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities
-- 7.RP.A.2.B Identify the constant of proportionality (unit rate) in tables, graphs, diagrams, and verbal descriptions of proportional relationships.

I present tasks in a clear way and begin every lesson with a visual and concrete example. This ensures that students work with a real-world scenario to begin their learning. I also provide students with a daily organizer so that they can follow along with what is presented. This organizer becomes a set of notes that will help them understand and complete the homework.

In Summary:

👏 This class includes four videos (12-25 minutes each) where I teach via a slide deck and 'mini-movies' that illustrate topics. 

👏 This class includes three extra videos where I go over each week's homework. I am very careful to model thinking that will help your student make important connections!

👏 Each class's slide deck includes me talking in a small video window, or recordings of me at a whiteboard, so that students can really see my emotion and meaning. 

👏 Students have a class organizer for each class to write information down as it is learned. 

👏 Each class is as engaging as possible given the pre-recorded format! I spend time each class discussing patterns and sense-making strategies that help learners engage deeply with the content and questions. These same strategies are used in the homework assignments so that they 'stick!'
