What's Happening in 4th Grade!
February 11, 2014
Math
Students wrapped up geometry last week and began learning about division this week. We know that division is the opposite of multiplication. Students will review multiplication and division fact families, before moving on to division with remainders, dividing larger numbers, problem solving, and writing division story problems. All of their hard work learning their multiplication facts will really pay off! If your child is still learning them, keep up the practice.
Throughout the rest of the school year, students will be reviewing previously taught skills and concepts on a regular basis. These spiral reviews help students retain information and become more proficient problem solvers.
