Math
Math instruction prepares students to think and reason mathematically and to use what they have learned to solve problems. This year in math we will work daily to master the 4th Grade Common Core Standards for Mathematics: www.commoncorestandards.org. Through a student centered approach students will be given the opportunity to interact and struggle with other students in order to solve problems. The goal is that students will be able to make sense of the math content, thoroughly understand it, and enjoy learning it. A heavy emphasis will be placed on students sharing their thinking processes/math reasoning both verbally and through writing. Students will be encouraged to view struggle positively and to grow from mistakes. Expect to see your child: · Making sense of problems & persevering in solving them. · Solving multi-digit multiplication problems · Solving division problems with multi-digit dividends · Finding and explaining equivalent fractions · Adding & subtracting fractions · Multiplying fractions by whole numbers - Measuring angles with a protractor · Classifying geometric figures based on their properties |
