MATH
Fourth Grade
4th graders will review their quizzes on Monday, then review Chapter 7 Add/Subtract Fraction and Mixed Number skills on Monday. We will begin the Chapter 7 Test on Wednesday. Students should be bringing home their spirals each night and using their notes and examples to help them with homework. There are many skills and new vocabulary words involved with fractions, so their notes should reinforce the steps, concepts and vocabulary. We are practicing simplifying fractions each day with our "Shamrock Simplify" presentations.
Use Carmen San Diego Math Models Skills 27-32, 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.

5th graders will finish the Chapter 7, Multiplying Fractions Test on Monday. We will practice computation skills learned in 5th grade, we will complete a computation review worksheet and take a quarterly Computation Test on Thursday. On Friday, we will begin Chapter 8, Dividing Fractions.
Use Carmen San Diego Math Models, Skills 27-28, to help with Chapter 7 skills. GOMATH Online Access: To use the website we should continue to share the logins for numbers 1 - 4 ( instead of individual student numbers).
Multiplication Facts: Continue practicing multiplication facts at home because they are ESSENTIAL for Fractions. You can print your own worksheets from Math-drills.com, play online games (see Math Websites Tab above), or borrow some "Holey Cards" from Mrs. Hall.
