4th Grade Math Planning
November 13, 2018
IReady - How did the growth monitoring go? All students will begin taking the growth monitor starting in December.
- How To's-stored in the common-math-IReady folder
- Dig into Data-Time usage, lessons
- Data Chats
- On-Line instruction
- Incentives
**Share District and Rees data for IReady and Power Point on Schoology
EDC and DMR-Discuss and decide what you will add and/or take away for December.
- Grid practice
- Sentence Stems: Today we have _____wholes and ____ hundredths.
- Quality Questions: If I color ____square, what fraction of the grid will I be coloring in today?
- Begin plan on September 6th. Calendar, Counting Tape and Daily Decimal, Daily Depositor
- 2-D Anchor Chart- can use your new set of 2-D figures.
Number Talks- Great for mathematical discourse. :)
Picking up small group binders on Thursday, November 15th.
SLO Goal Tracker
- How will you complete the first progress check in?
- When will you?
- What are you looking for?
Plans for Digi-Days on November 15th and 16th
- Look at calendar
STAAR Released Questions and Rationale 2018- PLC on Monday, January 7th.
What were our lowest performing SEs? Look at the released test question. Discuss. Do NOT use the questions on the released tests for instruction as it will be our DCA2. We have a brand new test for DCA1.
Small Group Accommodations/DCA
- review testing accommodations
- designated support
- math manipulatives
- blueprint
- time tested
- classroom displays
- digital version
- scan mistakes like last year to use for instruction
- use the district mistake profile sheet again for data?
Please look for lesson ideas in both Flocabulary and Nearpod
Unit 4 Fractions Test was November 8th. How did it go?
- Readiness- 4.3 D Compare two fractions with different numerators and denominators. 4.3E Represent and solve addition and subtraction of fractions with equal denominators using objects and pictorial models that build to the number line and properties of operations.
- Supporting- 5 TEKS.
- We compare 2 different fractions, with different numerators and denominators, but no longer have to order.
* Can we find some NearPod and/or Flocabulary activities for the students to use? :)
Small Group Differentiation
- How do you differentiate? Is it the same lesson, 3 different times?
- Ways to differentiate: Questioning, materials, scaffold, pacing, sequence, numbers, etc.
Angles Webinar from Bridget
Unit 5: Angles and Lines-Test is December 12th
Good Questioning:
- Are there any angles in our classroom? Can you draw a plane shape with ____ angles? Why/how do the numbers of sides and the number of angels in each plane shape correspond? Can you use Anglegs or craft sticks to make a _______ angle less than/greater than ________? What happens to the Anglegs as I open them and/or close them more or less? How many angles are greater than/less than ______? Can you make a shape that has _____ angles? Which angles is less than _____ but greater than _____? How are perpendicular and parallel lines different? Similar? How would you explain them to a 2nd grader? What is the distance between the lines? Can you find two pairs of _____ lines on each object? Where are some _________ lines in the classroom? Is this angle greater than or less than a right angle? What is the difference?
Materials:
- geoboards
- Measurement Charts
- Highlighters
- Protractors
- Anglegs
- clocks
- dot stickers
- paper for folding
TEK Walk: Read the pacing guide.
Readiness Standards: 4.6D classify 2-D figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines or angles. 4.7C determine approx measures of angles in degrees to the nearest whole number using a protractor (pictorial)
- 4.6 C add straight lines
- there are 2 non-assessable TEKS
- use the right angle (90 degrees) as the benchmark angle first to identify the other angles.
- triangles are named according to their largest angle
- add isosceles, right and equilateral to vocab??
- use the symbols for perpendicular and parallel lines p. 5
- angle measurements do not necessarily have to begin with 0!
- 4.7E determine the measure of an unknown angle formed by two non-overlapping adjacent angles given one or both angle measures.
- add parallel and perpendicular lines to the 3rd grade lesson
- find the angles and line segments in the geometric figures
- use the math charts to show 90 degree angles (right angles)
