First students will learn to change decimals into fractions. Learners will review and practice place value for tenths, hundredths, and thousandths and reading numbers with decimals using place value. Students will make both mixed numbers and improper fractions. Then students will practice turning decimals into fractions and reducing those fractions to lowest terms. Next students will work with fractions whose denominators are factors of 10, 100, or 1000 to make decimals by creating equivalent fractions. Then students will make decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator when the denominator is not a factor of 10, 100, or 1000. All of these skills are then practiced by playing a game using a single die. If the student does not have a die the teacher will roll for them. Each die roll will lead to a math problem where a decimal needs turned into a fraction, reducing fractions and forming both mixed numbers and improper fractions when appropriate, or a fraction is turned into a decimal where students may need to do two digit multiplication or long division when appropriate.

Teacher expertise and credentials
West Virginia Teaching Certificate
I teach classes in many subjects. I am proficient in reading, grammar, and math. I also can teach science, history, social studies, and some Spanish.
I have a college degree in teaching and a permanent certificate. I have taught all subjects to fourth graders including everything involved in science fair participation. I then spent years working as a substitute teacher in all grades from TK through high school. I worked some long-term assignments in the high school teaching language arts, history, business education, job preparation, keyboarding, journalism, and credit recovery.
I believe education is most effective when it is remembered. I believe in creating projects with content and utilizing interactive journals. I have created games to help learn basic concepts in grammar and math. These will be listed as soon as possible! Education can be fun!!
When not working I like to crochet projects to be donated for use or as gifts to family members and I try to volunteer at a local center.
