Math Basics 1: Multiplication
Math Basics is a two-part series. These classes help refresh knowledge and build confidence with math.
In the first class, we review the basics of multiplying numbers. Multiplication is a quick way to add the same number many times. This is a skill we all need in our tool-kits! We talk about the multiplication table, and show you how easy it is to use. We then give tips for multiplying small numbers, working our way up to larger numbers.
Math Basics 2: Division
Math Basics is a two-part series. These classes help refresh knowledge and build confidence with math.
In the second class, we review the basics of dividing numbers. Just like multiplication and addition are related, division is a quick way to subtract the same number many times. We help you see this more clearly by working through examples together. We teach the steps for dividing small numbers, working our way up to larger numbers.
Math Foundations 1: Decimals and Fractions
Math Foundations is a four-part series, perfect for those working on independent lessons with the LearningHUB. Classes give a quick overview of each topic, helping learners continue their lessons with more confidence. In the first class, we look at decimals and fractions. These are two ways to represent numbers that are smaller than 1. Together, we break down what this really means and you will learn steps for making calculations.
Please note: learners should be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide before joining these classes.
Math Foundations 2: More Fractions
Math Foundations is a four-part series, perfect for those working on independent lessons with the LearningHUB. Classes give a quick overview of each topic, helping learners continue their lessons with more confidence. In the second class, we go deeper with fractions! We explain how to multiply and divide fractions by working through problems together.
Please note: learners should be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide before joining these classes.
Math Foundations 3: Ratios, Proportions and Percents
Math Foundations is a four-part series, perfect for those working on independent lessons with the LearningHUB. Classes give a quick overview of each topic, helping learners continue their lessons with more confidence. In the third class, we explain how ratios and proportions show the relationship between numbers. We finish by looking at percents and how they are related to fractions and decimals.
Please note: learners should be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide before joining these classes.
Math Foundations 4: Word Problems
Math Foundations is a four-part series, perfect for those working on independent lessons with the LearningHUB. Classes give a quick overview of each topic, helping learners continue their lessons with more confidence. This final class is dedicated to word problems. Word problems are practical, real-word math questions. We use fractions, decimals, percents, ratios and proportions to solve problems every day! Together, we'll review sample questions and break down the steps for solving.
