Welcome to 4th Grade Math!
This year, students will grow as critical thinkers and confident problem solvers. Key learning highlights include:
Numbers & Computation: Master multi-digit addition/subtraction up to 1,000,000, multi-digit multiplication, and long division with remainders.
Algebraic Thinking: Solve multi-step word problems, work with variables, identify factors, multiples, and prime/composite numbers.
Fractions & Decimals: Compare and perform operations with fractions, and get introduced to decimal notation.
Measurement & Data: Measure angles, solve real-world unit conversions, and apply area and perimeter formulas.
Geometry: Classify shapes by line types and angles, identify right triangles, and explore symmetry.
Hi everyone! My name is Mr. Bobby Dale Thomas, and I am thrilled to be your 4th-grade Math teacher this year!
I graduated from Tennessee Tech in 2013, and this year marks my 14th year of teaching! I am passionate about guiding 4th graders through a year of big discoveries, hands-on learning, and incredible personal growth. Learning never stops—even for teachers—so I am also excited to be starting my Master’s degree this year!
My wife, Sydney, and I have been married for 3 years, and we have a 2-year-old Cavapoo named Jozie who keeps us on our toes! 🐶
When I’m not teaching or spending time with family, you can usually find me at the bowling alley. Bowling is a huge passion of mine. I travel all over the country competing in tournaments, and I’m proud to say I have rolled over 30 perfect 300 games! 🎳
My main goal is to create a supportive, engaging, and welcoming classroom where every student feels excited to learn, comfortable asking questions, and confident trying new things.
