WELCOME TO GRADE 4!! EXPLORE THE SUBJECT TABS TO DISCOVER WHAT YOU ARE LEARNING THIS YEAR!!
3. Go to Google Classroom and complete the assignment called "Fractions and Decimals: Lesson 1
5. For extra practice go to the IXL Math link in the Quick Links above and work on Grade 4 : R.1 and R.2
Go to the Quick Links above to access the Math Text. Read pages 178 and 179. To understand the activity, you will need to fold strips of paper according to the instructions.
Watch the 2 videos below that helps explain how to find fraction benchmarks using a strip of paper or a tape and using a number line.
Go to Google Classroom to complete the assignment called "Lesson 2: Fraction Benchmarks". Turn in the assignment for feedback when it is completed.
Go to the Quick Links above to access the Math Text. Read pages 180 and 181. Look at the picture at the top of the page of the children who are ready for art class. Answer the following questions about the picture:
a) What fraction of the group is girls?
b) What fraction of the group is wearing a striped shirt?
c) What other fractions can you use to describe the children?
Read the "Explore" section and try the activity if you have counters. Counters can be anything you have around the house. I have used jellybeans, beads, Frootloops as counters. Anything coloured works!
Watch the video below to help you understand the concept of "Parts of a Set". When you are finished watching the video, read the "Connect" section on page 181 of the text to make sure you understand.
Go to Google Classroom to Complete the assignment. Turn in the assignment for grading when you are finished.
When you have turned in the Google Doc assignment go to IXL Math and work on Grade 4: R.3 and R.4
For this lesson, it really helps to use counters. Counters could be anything that you have in the house. For example, coins, macaroni, jellybeans or even Fruitloops make great counters.
Finding fractions of a set is all about making equal groups. The denominator always tells you how many equal groups to make. The numerator tells you how many groups to count.
To help you understand how to find out a find a fraction of a set, please view the video I posted below. I think the video explains the concept a bit clearer than the text. I have also included two other videos that will help you understand the concept. Remember, the videos are there to help you understand the math concept taught. Make sure you view the videos if you do not fully understand how to complete the questions in the assignment.

For extra practice work on IXL Math Grade 4: R.3 and R.4
In this lesson you will solving problems using the strategies of making a model by using counters or by drawing a picture.
When solving fractions there are 4 things you need to remember:
a) READ the problem carefully. What exactly does the problem want you to find?
b) Choose a strategy to solve the problem-- use a counters as a model or draw a picture
c) Find the answer. Write a sentence to answer the question.
d) Explain in detail how you solved the problem.
Watch the video below where I model how to solve a problem using the above steps.

For extra practice work on IXL Math Grade 4: R.6, R.7, R.8, R.9, and R.10
One of the most important ideas to remember in this lesson is that with different unit fractions, the equal parts of the whole have different sizes.
In this lesson we will also discover the following important idea:
THE MORE EQUAL PARTS THERE ARE, THE SMALLER THE PARTS ARE
Because unit fractions are different sizes we can order them from least to greatest.
Watch the video below that explains how to order fractions using pictures.
Go to Google Classroom and complete the assignment called, Lesson 6:"Comparing and Ordering Unit Fractions" in the Classwork section under the Math tab.
Turn in the assignment for grading.
For extra practice work on IXL Math Grade 4: T.9 and T.10
In the last lesson we discovered that different fractions of the same whole may have the same denominator. Then, the parts being counted have the same size. When the denominators are the same you look at the numerator to tell you which fraction is smaller. 3/10 is smaller than 8/10 because the numerator is less. 3/10 < 8/10
In this lesson we will discover that fractions of the same whole may have the same numerator but different denominators. Then, the parts being counted have different sizes.
Watch the video below to explain the above ideas more clearly.
We are going to be practicing comparing and ordering fractions with the same numerator 3 different ways. We will be using fraction strips, number lines with the same lengths, and number lines with the benchmarks of 0, 1/2, and 1.
Watch the second video below to explain how to compare and order fractions 3 different ways.

For the following 6 lessons we will be looking at how decimals relate to fractions.
Any number in tenths can be written as a fraction or a decimal. To write a fraction as a decimal we use a decimal point.
Watch the video below to help you learn more about fractions and to help you understand the assignment in Google Classroom.
Go to Google Classroom and complete the assignment called, Lesson 8: " Exploring Tenths" in the Classwork section under the Math tab.

For extra practice work on learning about Decimals go to IXL Math Grade 4 and work on the following: U.1, U.2, U.3, U.4
In the last lesson we found out that any number in tenths can be written as a fraction or as a decimal.
In this lesson you will be learning about hundredths by using a hundred grid or a place value hundred flat.
Watch the video to help you understand hundredths and how hundredths can be written as decimals.
In assignment for this lesson you will also be using decimals to write parts of a dollar. Watch the "Counting Money" video below that explains how to use decimals to count money.

For extra practice work on learning about Decimals go to IXL Math Grade 4 and work on the following: U.1, U.2, U.3, U.4
In the last two lessons we looked at how tenths and hundredths could be written as decimals.
In this lesson we will be learning that different decimals can name the same amount. Decimals that name the same amount are called, "equivalent decimals".
Watch the video below that explains equivalent decimals.
Go to Google Classroom and complete the assignment called, Lesson 10: " Equivalent Decimals" in the Classwork section under the Math tab.

We have been looking at how fractions that are written as tenths and hundredths can be written as decimals.
In this lesson we will be learning how to add decimals to tenths. Adding decimals is a lot like adding whole numbers. Be careful to line up the decimals so you don't get mixed up!
Watch the video below that explains how to add decimals to tenths.

In the last lesson we practiced adding decimals to tenths. We lined up the decimals in our equations and had to carry if the number was greater than 9.
In this lesson we will be practicing subtracting decimals to tenths. Again, we will be practicing lining up the decimals in the equations and borrowing if we do not have a big enough number from which to subtract.
Watch the video below that explains how to subtract decimals to tenths.
