Class Experience

In this one-time class, we will focus on improper fractions and mixed numbers. We will begin class by noticing the differences between the two representations and discussing them. We will take a look at how they are represented using bar models. Then, we will define the meaning of these two terms. To reinforce the concept, students will create their own definitions of the terms. Next, we will use visual representations to count and create our own mixed numbers and improper fractions. Finally, students will use these bar models to write improper fractions and mixed numbers. We will use the "I do, we do, you do" model to ensure your child is able to grasp the material at their own pace. This would be a good class for students who are working to strengthen their fractional number sense.

For the past five years, I have transitioned to online teaching, focusing primarily on math education. I offer a wide variety of math classes and private tutoring sessions tailored to individual learning needs. My expertise lies in fostering a strong foundation in number sense, place value, fractions, decimals, and division, enabling students to build confidence and mastery in these critical areas. I am committed to creating engaging, supportive, and effective learning experiences for every student.
