Course Description
Course Description
In third grade students develop an understanding that fractions are numbers. This 4-week blended learning course is aligned with the California Common Core Standards for Math introduces students to key fractions vocabulary, visual fractions representations, early fractions concepts, and strategies to solve real-world fractions word problems. Scaffolded lesson are provided through interactive videos, engaging practice activities, assessments, and collaboration with classmates and teacher. Students progress through the course at their own pace and are expected to complete all learning activities by the end of the week.
