New this year, Bridges in Mathematics for 4th grade is designed to help your child develop strong math skills in a fun and engaging way. In 4th grade, students will explore important math concepts like multi-digit multiplication and division, fractions, and geometry. Bridges uses lots of hands-on activities, games, and visual models to make math easier to understand. Your child will work on problem-solving skills and learn to explain their thinking. The program also includes daily practice through "Number Corner" activities. At home, you can support your child by playing math games together, asking them to explain what they're learning, and encouraging a positive attitude towards math. Remember, making mistakes is part of the learning process!
