MATH
Fourth Grade
4th graders will begin Chapter 7, Adding & Subtracting Fractions. We will also prepare for and take a Diocesan Test regarding fractions based on concepts learned from Chapter 6. The Diocesan Test will count as a 12-point quiz grade for the 3rd quarter. On Friday, we will celebrate 100 days of Math class with a series of games each lasting 100 seconds, as well as playing Math bingo. Use Carmen San Diego Math Model Skills 27-28, to practice concepts from Chapter 7. Remember we need to share logins 1-4 at this time.
Multiplication Facts: Students will be receiving multiplication fact homework each week in order to master their facts. They are responsible for writing facts 5x each. You can print your own worksheets to practice from Math-drills.com, play online games (see Math Websites Tab above), or borrow some "Holey Cards" from Mrs. Hall.
