Beginning with story time, I will read "Sir Cumference and the Fraction Faire" by Cindy Neuschwander. Then with a video clip on fractions, we will examine the importance of fractions. We will discuss what they are, why they are formed, and why it is important to understand them. The students will then explore fractions using their own strips and pies. (PDF provided before the start of class.) Finally, I will provide a link enrichment activity for after class to continue the study of fractions. This is a great introduction into fractions, or a good review, for anyone who needs it.

Hello from Texas! Although I am currently residing in Texas, we move quite often and that has allowed me to have many different types of career experiences. I have tutored privately and through well-known organizations; taught in the public school classroom setting with a self-contained classroom (including 4th grade and Texas History); substituted and interned in private school classroom settings; instructed at the community college level (History); assisted with museum operations; and homeschooled my three munchkins. I have worked with early education all the way up to the community college level. My Bachelors is in childhood education with a Master's in American History. Reviews
