This is the perfect class to start from the beginning to the end as it relates to fractions. We will review EVERYTHING from terminology, visual representations, simplifying, and common denominators - with plenty of practice using fractions with operations: adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. There are sessions that work with the same and different denominators, as well as one that reviews how to carry and borrow when adding and subtracting fractions. Learners can sign-up for the sessions that address their specific needs. This is a comprehensive course directed to help your learner become more confident when working with fractions. 

There is no pre-requisite knowledge required and the classes do not build on each other.  Students from grades 3-7 can participate in the course, depending on their skill level and interest.
