Course Description
This training is designed for tutors working with students who are primarily on the 3rd-5th grade levels of mathematics, working together to help them develop a deeper understanding of Division and Fractions. To this end, tutors will become familiar with SFPS Curriculum and the tools available, including those from enVision/Savvas. This training can be helpful to all grade levels of students who might struggle with Division or Fractions.
Tutors will help students to succeed through the confidence acquired working together to understand the progression of the conceptual process of Division. They will use skills and strategies based on Common Core Standards to solve and understand whole-number quotients and remainders, with up to three-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division.
Working with tutors, students will acquire knowledge and foundational understanding of unit fractions, finding equivalence, and comparing and ordering of fractions. Tutors will learn how to support students to apply and extend previous understandings of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of fractions.
They will also become familiar with working with concrete and representational forms of fractions, to understand the abstract or algorithmic form of fractions.
