Math
Mathematicians at work:
Fourth grade mathematicians start the year with a focus on reading and creating graphs.
They also work on reviewing and memorizing multiplication facts. Strong knowledge
of basic facts is an asset as we move on to longer multiplication and
division.
Fourth graders will also focus on place value and time. Students will
practice expressing numbers in expanded form, base ten blocks, standard form,
and in words. Estimating will also be studied.
The concepts of multiple digit multiplication and division will also be
addressed.
Fourth graders will be continue their study of fractions and begin reducing to
lowest terms, reinforcing the relationship between sets of fractions.
Students will also begin to study decimals and use metric measurement in
realistic applications of their math skills.
Throughout the year, students will work on applying their skills to problem
solving and expressing their mathematical thinking. Students will
work on writing and solving story problems.
