In this multi-day class, learners will use understanding and love of baseball to increase their math 3rd-grade and 4th-grade math skills while mastering the elements of fractions. The class will begin with principles of fractions. Teacher and learners will use graphic baseball examples, diagrams, discussion, and practice problems centered around discussions of baseball to develop an in-depth understanding of fractions. Learners are welcome to wear hats and/or shirts and bring props to class to represent baseball teams that they support.

The topics covered will include math vocabulary, fractions of shapes, fractions of groups, and fractions on a number line. We will work to develop an understanding of equivalency as well as non-equivalency in fractions. 

No prior knowledge of fractions is required, as this is an introductory class. 

Learners will be provided with class documents to print before each week of classes. Please ensure that your learner has their documents for each class meeting. Much of the classwork will be based on these documents.
