Hello, this is Mr. Stern's math and science website. I am currently a student in Seattle University's Master in Teaching program. Shortly, I will be working with Mrs. Hughes in teaching 6th graders in room 23 at Echo Lake Elementary. I am looking forward to it!
The first math unit that I will teach will involve dividing fractions. The first lesson will be about dividing a fraction into a whole number. Soon after, we will move into dividing fractions by whole numbers, and then finally dividing fractions by other fractions. It should be very exciting, and I am sure that the students (and I) will learn a lot. Please make sure your student is doing his or her homework! Below are some terms that we are learning in class. Your student should be able to tell you what they mean.
whole number A. In ½ ÷ ¼ = 2, the ½ represents the
2. quotient B
3. numerator
10. divisor
11. dividend
Here are a couple of websites you can try at home for division of fraction games and activities.
funbrain.com - for a soccer shootout. You have to know your division of fractions to score (or keep the other team from scoring)
visualfractions.com you can look at fractions displayed as parts of circles or against a number line. Can help make it easier to understand division of fractions.
On this site, I will attempt to keep an up-to-date listing of what lessons we have worked on in my class, as well as provide some additional resource links for students (and parents). Next to each website I have provided a short description of the website, and what functions you can do with it. But don't take my word for it, investigate them yourself!

Nine Planets - A very fun website that shows our solar system with amazing graphics. Drag the planets in orbit around the Sun to see how long their years are. See how far away from the Sun a planet is at any given time.
PBS Kids Science - Another website that offers a number of experiments to do in class or at home. Mostly pretty easy to do, and grouped by subject.
American Institute of Aeronautics and Aviation - Great free site with experiments relating to aeronautics and aviation.

3) The Challenger Learning Center: Where the students get to participate in a simulation of a space adventure.
4) The Aviation Learning Center: Where the students get to plan an airplane trip and take a ride in an aircraft simulator.
ForBelow are a video about a Museumcouple of Flight program, watch below.videos from the Challenger Learning Center and the Aviation Learning Center. They look to be great experiences for the students.
Many more lessons are offered. If you would like more information about the lessons offered, click here to look at the Museum of Flight's lesson Brochure.
