4th Grade Math Planning
December 18, 2018
IReady - All students will begin taking the growth monitor December 6th-12th.
- Look at student data and reports
- Any celebrations? Setbacks?
Prepare your students for the Winter Diagnostic
Click on the link below for resources.
DCA Data and Comparisons
- Share comparison and district reports.
- What are our strengths? Weaknesses?
- Take aways?
Number Talks- Great for mathematical discourse. :)
SLO Goal Tracker: How did it go?
- Documentation kept in small group binders.
Rees Elementary has 289 girls, 329 boys , and 75 adults. How many more students are there than adults at Rees Elementary?
Please look for lesson ideas in both Flocabulary and Nearpod
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.
- Mary Peterson: February 28th, Strengthen Your Guided Math Instruction: Strategies to Differentiate Math Instruction Using Small Group Instruction and Math Work Station.

Great website for your Smartboards for work mats and manipulatives!
Unit 5: Angles and Lines-Test is December 12th. Dig into DMAC data
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)
Unit 6: Personal Financial Literacy Unit 6 and 7 will be tested together on January 29th.
- 4.10A- Distinguish between fixed and variable expenses.
- 4.10B- Calculate profit in a given situation.
- 4.10C- Compare advantages and disadvantages of various saving options.
- 4.10D- Describe how to allocate a weekly allowance among spending, saving, college, and sharing.
- 4.10E- Descirbe basic purpose of financial institutions, including keeping money safe, borrowing money, and lending.
- VOCABULARY! VOCABULARY! VOCABULARY!
Dana's Slide PFL presentations
Unit 7: Decimals Unit 6 and 7 will be tested together on January 29th.
- Expanded notation and numerals
- Use concrete and visual models, including money
- Tie in to the EDC counting tape
- Make connections between fractions with denominators of 10 and the place value chart
- compare and order to the hundredths
- students need to draw models (rectangles)
- use number lines to determine to the corresponding decimal
- Number Bonds work great as well
- Rounding decimals is not a 4th grade TEK, so we will skip those lessons.
- Use Bridget's anchor charts from the webinar for pictorial practice
- Decimals webinar http://alief.adobeconnect.com/p9j64dmq2ma/, enter the password Decimals.
- When demonstrating on a number line, draw lines in to make it into a bar model and discuss the similarities.
Misc
- Interactive Measurement Cards
- 3-D Anchor Chart
- Math Reference Chart Posters
