California Common Core State Standards: Math
We will be utilizing lessons and activities from the Engage NY curriculum. The math programs emphasize conceptual thinking, problem solving, and computation skills. Within math we will be utilizing an interactive notebook model where students will build this resource to help process and understand the information.
We will work on reinforcing student’s basic math fact skills throughout the school year. In order to do so, we will utilize Math Facts in a Flash (computer), Ipads, and Flashmasters (handheld units) along with fluency practice embedded within the Engage NY curricula.
Fourth Grade Houghton Mifflin Resources
Fifth Grade Houghton Mifflin Resources
One of the keys to success in fourth grade will be to have a solid grasp of your basic math facts. On our classroom and lab computers, we use Math Facts in a Flash. A home version of this program is also available. We will also utilize Flashmasters (hand held units), Ipads, and center activities to help to reinforce basic math facts. Addition/Subtraction facts will be emphasized first, followed by multiplication, and then division facts. Some basic math facts sites to practice math are listed on the class website.
