初級代數：百分比、小數和分數

This 5 week course will introduce students to fractions, decimals, and percentages. Students will learn how to represent numbers in each of these forms and to convert between them. Below is the topic for each session of the course:

Session 1: Defining Fractions and Mixed Numbers
Session 2: Add and Subtract Fractions (Common Denominators)
Session 3: Add and Subtract Fractions (Unlike Denominators)
Session 4: Multiply Fractions
Session 5: Divide Fractions
Session 6: Decimal Place Value
Session 7: Add and Subtract Decimals
Session 8: Multiply and Divide Decimals
Session 9: Percents
Session 10: Converting between Fractions, Decimals, and Percents

During class, students will begin with a warm-up question to gauge previous knowledge. Short lectures and example problems will be presented before students will be given time to practice guided problems. Students will be given approximately 5 homework questions at the conclusion of each session. During the following session, learners will have the opportunity to review their answers and ask questions to better their understanding. Students will have opportunities to interact with other classmates and will often use the Whiteboard Annotate feature on Zoom.

Students do not need prior knowledge/experience with fractions, decimals, or percentages, but should be able to perform the basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with whole numbers.
