This is a great class for students who are just being introduced to fractions for the very first time. In this one time class, we will take fractions from the beginning. We will discuss the definition of a fraction and make a connection to how a fraction represents an amount of something. By looking at groups of sea animals, students will create fractions that represent their amount. Eventually, we will move on to representing fractions using bar models. Next, we will define and identify the numerator and denominator. Students will answer questions about provided fractions, as well as create their own. Students will learn through observation, discussion, and practice. I follow the "I do, we do, you do" model to ensure your child is able to process the material at their own pace. Throughout the lesson, students will engage in conversation, use a power point, and answer questions.
Learning Goals
The student will deepen their understanding of fractions and how to represent them in picture and number form. The student will identify the numerator and denominator within a fraction.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome! My name is Teacher Shannon and I am so excited to meet you! I have been working with students from all ages for over ten years and I am ready for you to join the party! Our classes together will focus on a range of things from fun with fractions to diving into life underwater. Don’t worry - our time together will be boring and uninteresting. Not! Your class will be full of excitement and high energy as we approach learning in an exciting way. I have a passion for connecting with students and helping them feel as if their teacher really “gets” them. My experiences have helped prepare me to meet the needs of students of every type. Previously, I was a fifth grade classroom teacher and I have a Masters of Arts in Teaching, a Bachelors of Science in Interdisciplinary Liberal studies, and a minor in elementary education. Outside of teaching, I am a PADI certified professional scuba diver and I hope to bring my love for all things aquatic into our classroom. I look forward to seeing you soon!
