In this class, students will be introduced to the concept of fractions, improper fractions, and mixed numbers.

Students will learn the relationship between division and fractions, and how this can lead to improper fractions. Then, students will be introduced to how improper fractions can be converted to mixed numbers, but it can sometimes be more useful to convert mixed numbers to improper fractions to solve problems.

This class is lecture based, but students will be encouraged to participate in solving problems with the teacher's guidance. Discussion about how fractions are useful will also be encouraged.

Students should be familiar with division before taking this class. If they are not, please consider enrolling in "The Long Road to Division... How to Use Long Division" first.

Learning Goals

Students will learn how to manipulate equivalent fractions.
Students will learn how to identify improper fractions and mixed numbers.

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

I am a nuclear engineering graduate from South Carolina State University with a Bachelor's in Science. I began graduate school for a PhD in Nuclear Engineering, but due to health issues I decided to leave school and pursue my passions elsewhere--like here!

Thus, it may go without saying that a lot of classes I offer are math and science (particularly nuclear science) related.

If you have anything specific you would like to see a class on, please feel free to message me, and I will let you know if I feel comfortable teaching that topic (if I do, I will make it the next class I start offering!). Also, feel free to request class sections at other times than when I offer them; I will be sure to keep my availability updated and will be happy to see you at any of these times! If you have any questions, please feel free to message me.

Much of my teaching background is in tutoring. I have listings set up for private lessons, so feel free to message me if you are interested! You will notice that my classes are a lot shorter than others, both in the length of each meeting and the number of weeks my classes run. This is because I break up concepts into their integral parts so that students can come for exactly what they need help with and skip over the parts that they are superstars at. :) Therefore, be sure to read the class descriptions carefully and select the class(es) that will best help your student!

I hope to see you and your students in class soon!
