Elementary and middle school students. Local school district is virtual for the 1st quarter, but we had made the decision it would be virtual for our kids until a working vaccine arrives or the virus transmission rate is under control.
Our productivity at home will be lower and I will have to relearn fractions, but we're going to make it work.
I am disappointed we didn't use the summer to better prepare by starting to teach the kids, but it seemed like none of us wanted to do anything related to school given what is happening.
- actfrench 6y agoI think it's great that you gave your children a break this summer. Sometimes kids really need to just relax and play. It's been a hard year. Learning isn't linear, so they will likely catch up quickly. Also, there a ton of great apps and youtube videos for teaching fractions (you might not even have to help). Let me know if you'd like some recommendations.

- actfrench 6y agoOf course! Can you email me at manisha@modulo.app and we'll find a time to talk? Also Math Tango is our all time favorite app and they have lots of great fraction stuff. https://www.originatorkids.com/?p=1008 https://www.originatorkids.com/?p=1008 More fraction specific - Slice Fractions is a favorite in our community. https://ululab.com/slice-fractions/ https://ululab.com/slice-fractions/
