Ms. Jones' SUNsational Math Class

Shantorya Jones is a native of Montgomery, AL, raised in Ramer, AL. She attended the prestigious George Washington Carver Senior High School where she graduated with honors in 2009. She set off to originally complete her degree at Alabama State University until the passing of her father placed a dent in her journey. Nevertheless, she NEVER GAVE UP! She received her associate’s degree in general education from Trenholm College in 2020, her bachelor’s degree in liberal arts from Auburn University Montgomery in 2022 and is currently working to complete her master’s degree in education from AUM as well. As a 5th grade mathematics teacher, she receives great pleasure observing the works of her educating methods. Her greatest teaching joys come from watching her scholars' motivation increase in mathematics as their passion for learning mathematical concepts skyrocket. Outside of educating her scholars, she’s the proud business owner of Craf’Tee Creations. Shantorya serves as the National Administrator of the wonderful Christian sorority, Tau Rho Mu, under the leadership of Dr. Tammie McCurry, a member of the Junior Executive Board of Child Protect, and one of the dance coaches for Millbrook Middle School.

Shantorya is very family and friend oriented and enjoys time spent with loved ones. She lives life by her favorite scripture, Jeremiah 29:11 and her favorite quote is: “Success can’t be measured unless you first try!”

[date]

PLANNED ACADEMIC AGENDA: April 7-11

STANDARD: 4.NF.A.1 - Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n×a)/(n×b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.

4.NF.A.2 - Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

Standard 5.7 - Use strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication
and division to find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors. Illustrate
and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models
