中學數學小組：迴歸基礎

As a middle school math teacher, I have observed that my students' biggest struggles are not necessarily with understanding the new material, but remembering and applying concepts learned in previous grades. Each week we will focus on one of those commonly forgotten math concepts, which are listed below. 

Sunday, January 14th: Order of Operations

Sunday, January 21st: Working with Decimals

Sunday, January 28th: Converting Between Mixed and Improper Fractions

Sunday, February 4th: Adding & Subtracting Fractions (Least Common Denominator)

Sunday, February 11th: Multiplying and Dividing Fractions (Greatest Common Factor)

Sunday, February 18th: Calculating Unit Rates

Sunday, February 25th: Converting Between Units

Sunday, March 3rd: Converting Between Fractions, Decimals, and Percents

Sunday, March 10th: Using Percents to Find Tax, Tip, and Discount

Sunday, March 17th: Identifying Proportional Relationships

Sunday, March 24th: Making and Solving Equations from Word Problems

Sunday, April 7th: Plotting Points and Graphing Lines on a Coordinate Plane

Sunday, April 14th: Calculating Perimeter

Sunday, April 21st: Calculating Area

Sunday, April 28th: Calculating Volume

Sunday, May 5th: Adding and Subtracting Positive and Negative Integers

Sunday, May 12th:  Multiplying and Dividing Positive and Negative Integers 

Sunday, May 19th: Simple Statistics (Mean, Median, and Mode)

These small group classes will be taught using Google Slides and various math games that I have created using Google Apps (Slides and Sheets). Each class will start with a Warm-Up question as well as introductions. Then I will go over any relevant vocabulary. Next, the learners will complete work as a group and discuss the different ways to solve various problems. Finally, the learners will play a game to reinforce the skills learned during the class. My goal is to have the learners use each other to come up with a solution and to have fun learning math!
