It is incredibly important to check your Google Classrooms and your grades in Infinite Campus OFTEN!!!!
Math understanding comes from participation and practice! I am excited to see how you work through problems, check over your work, and use your math skills in real life situations. Get ready to work hard and be willing to practice at home. Success will come!

4th Grade Math Standards
Grade 4 Overview
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems.
Gain familiarity with factors and multiples.
Generate and analyze patterns.
Number and Operations in Base Ten
Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers.
Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.
Number and Operations—Fractions
Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering.
Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understandings of operations on whole numbers.
Understand decimal notation for fractions, and compare decimal fractions.
Measurement and Data
Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit.
Represent and interpret data.
Geometric measurement: understand concepts of angle and measure angles.
Geometry
Draw and identify lines and angles, and classify shapes by properties of their lines and angles.
Mathematical Practices
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Grading:
Unit Tests / Test Corrections / Homework / Math Facts
Unit Tests: There will be a unit test after units 1-7. A study guide will be sent home at least a few days before the test with similar like questions.
Test Corrections :(a student can earn half of their missed points back)
Due one week from receiving the graded test
Done on a separate piece of paper stapled to the original test
Number the problem and rewrite it
1-2 complete sentences explaining the error and what you need to do to fix it
Show all the work needed to get the correct answer, and circle to correct answer
Homework points: BOTH Home Connections pages and weekly math practice
2 points for every homework assignment COMPLETED and turned in ON TIME --assignments turned in late can earn 1 point (must be turned in before the end of that unit)
*Homework page MUST have the student's name on it to receive proper credit!!!
Timed Tests:
Two attempts each quarter. Best grade for that quarter will be recorded into overall math grade.
1st quarter: addition and subtraction
2nd quarter: addition, subtraction, and multiplication
3rd quarter: addition, subtraction, and multiplication
4th quarter: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
IXL computer work
Very valuable practice done during I/E time and at home. Not calculated into their percentage grade, but used as a form of assessing the standards and can earn extra credit and homework passes!!
