Adding and subtracting fractions matters in math, even in college. That includes mixed numbers as well. It really can be done. It doesn’t matter if it has been tried and/or failed in the past. Here's what will be covered:

Week 1: Adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators
Week 2: Adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators
Week 3: How to add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators
Week 4: Addition and subtraction of mixed numbers with unlike denominators
As needed, converting improper fractions to mixed numbers will be presented or reviewed as appropriate. 

Future math courses will at least occasionally require this knowledge. Learning about fractions will help with decimals and percents. All three make learning other math much easier.

Even though this is a course based on addition and subtraction, it uses multiplication and division. Please get in touch (preferably before the first day) if a student is uncomfortable with those concepts. Help will be provided if it's clearly needed or at the parent's request. 

The age range is intentionally set so that much younger students will not be in the same classroom as your child. The teacher is approachable, kind, patient, and quite human yet not a doormat. Classmates are allowed to help one another. Questions can be asked at any time during lectures, classwork, or outside of the classroom. Siblings must enroll in separate sections so they can develop individually in the subject. 

Notes should be taken to help with classwork and homework. Classwork can be done individually or as a group. Homework is expected to be completed individually. There are no books. Worksheets are provided. Students may be called on in class. Outschool rules and those specific to the course are enforced starting the first day. Reviews of topics are periodic. Students' progress is informally assessed for their comfort.
