Experiencia de clase

Each class session will start with warm-up problems in which learners practice and demonstrate their skills at representing fractions in multiple ways. As part of this time, work will be checked and compared together.
After the warm-up, we will do problems on the operation of the week. I will do a problem demonstrating a particular strategy, with student input, and then learners will have problems on which they can try out the strategy. As with the warm-up problems, we will compare answers and check our work together; also, I will demonstrate particular strategies for checking work, and answer keys (including teacher as answer key) will not be used in class.
At least one problem each week will be situational in nature, and the situational problem may also use other operations.

Operations will rotate as follows:
First week of each month: Addition
Second week of each month: Multiplication
Third week of each month: Subtraction
Fourth week of each month: Division
Fifth week, when applicable: Translating Between Representations

Weeks are numbered based on their Mondays, and weekends are grouped with the previous week. For example, May 2022 will be divided as follows:
Sunday May 1: Week 4 of April
Monday May 2-Sunday May 8: Week 1 of May
Monday May 9-Sunday May 15: Week 2 of May
Monday May 16-Sunday May 22: Week 3 of May
Monday May 23-Sunday May 29: Week 4 of May
Monday May 30-Sunday June 5: Week 5 of May

Mathematical prerequisites: Learners should be proficient enough with whole number calculations to use them as steps. Using a calculator to save time is OK, but learners should have enough experience with whole number operations to recognize patterns. Also, since equivalent fractions will be used as a step in many problem types, learners should already have some familiarity with the concept of equivalent fractions. Needing more practice to be proficient at calculating equivalent fractions is OK!
Tech skills prerequisites: Learners who aren't able to switch back and forth between the Zoom meeting and a browser window, and to pull up the Zoom chat, will need to have a parent/sibling/etc. immediately available for tech support.

Metas de aprendizaje

Learners will apply visual fraction models, like number line and area diagrams, to calculations.
Learners will write fractions in different forms, like improper vs. mixed number, equivalent fractions such as with common denominators, and decimal fractions, either as a separate problem or when needed as a step.
Learners will perform the four basic operations using fractions and mixed numbers, and will evaluate exponential expressions with whole number powers and fraction bases by converting the whole number power to repeated multiplication.
Learners will apply fraction calculation skills to situational problems.
Learners will evaluate their own work using meaningful strategies, like calculating with equivalent decimals, inverse operations, visual estimation, comparison, and situational feasibility.

Orientación para padres

TeacherMade is a site designed for school use which allows learners to access and complete worksheets, tutorials, and practice problems. If they wish, such as for added privacy, learners can sign in using a nickname or pseudonym. Explain Everything is a shared whiteboard, similar to Google Jamboard but more flexible. Learners do not need an account and can access the board to write on it through a link. Learners who do not specifically want to write on the board don’t need to access Explain Everything at all – I will share the screen in Zoom and they can watch.

Lista de útiles escolares

Learners should have something for scratch work (pencil and paper, marker and whiteboard, etc.). A stylus or touchscreen based device will be handy if available, because they can do scratch work directly on the practice sheets/whiteboard; however, if they don't have one, they can participate well enough using a mouse and keyboard.
Learners may use a calculator for whole number arithmetic as a step in fraction problems. If the calculator has fraction features (common of many scientific and graphing calculators) they should not use any of those features except to check their work.
