Don't Count Down the Days! Make EACH Day Count!
STAAR-Monday, May 14th
- designated supports
- water bottles
- cell phones
- check griddables (remind partners)
- last day of tutorials is May 10th. Celebration?
- Questions?
DMAC
- TEKScore Dashboard
- Campus and District boards are based on passing standards set for each test.
- Teacher Dashboards are based on the percentage of TEKS/questions answered correctly.
- Teacher Dashboards allow you to see scored tests and TEKS performance.
Region IV folders

Specialist written problems for readiness standards are in the common-math-4th- 2017-18 folder titled specialist written problems.
Different types of remainders
EDC and Animated Measurement Benchmark Cards- How are they going?
- Idea to use Chatterpix and safe own copies in their folders to review the vocabulary.
- Begin next week introducing Length. Then weight and then capacity. How should we separate metric and customary?
- Begin reviewing the math reference chart they used in 3rd grade. Do you still have the enlarged poster?
- Remember, Fraction of the day is critical.
- What to add in February? Share Earl's presentation.
- Grid practice-Keep reviewing, especially with zeroes
- Sentence Stems: Today we have _____wholes and ____ hundredths. I can write ____hundredths as one tenth and ____ extra hundredths.
- Quality Questions: If I color ____square, what fraction of the grid will I be coloring in today?
- Calendar, Counting Tape and Daily Decimal, A Fraction A Day, 2-D Anchor Chart, and the Fraction/Decimal Hundred Chart piece.
- Implement the Egg Carton pieces for A Fraction a Day (TG p. 54) Good discussion questions suggested in the packet, for every Wednesday. You should have all the materials you need.
- Is ____ greater or less than ____? ____ is greater/less than ____ because _____________.
- 2-D anchor chart completed by Christmas. Begin 3-D.
- Rounding Decimals
- EDC- Add Egg Carton and Measurement pieces. Review 3-D in January.
- February: The angle questions for the calendar is great! Continue with January's fraction and measurement piece and we will add the large poster math STAAR reference chart.
- Fraction a Day- page 82-83 with the egg carton. . Measurement page 81- ounces and pounds. Use a slice of bread for an ounce, loaf for a pound, and a bread truck for a ton.
- March: Elapsed time and comparing money
- April: Continue Elapsed time and comparing money.
- May: Focus on decimal and fraction pieces.
- EDC can come down on Friday, May 11th.
Units 10 and 11: Conversion of Measurements and Data Analysis- Dig into DMAC
Unit 10: Conversion of Measurements
- share anchor chart from last year
- Readiness Standard- 4.8C Solve problems that deal with measurements of length, intervals of time, liquid volumes, mass and money using the 4 operations.
- Supporting 4.8A Identify relative sizes of measurement units within the customary and metric systems
- Supprting 4.8B Convert with the same system when given equivalent measures represented in a table.
- Students must develop BENCHMARKS and mental images
- Teach the language- "kilo" means a thousand, etc.
- Students need to explore the patterns and relationships in the conversion tables.
- Students need to create the tables as well. Use a two-column chart.
- Sentence Stem "If ________ is ________, then ______ is ________ because ____________"
- "If one foot is 12 inches, then 3 feet is 36 inches because there are 3 groups of 12."
- Multi-step word problems with perimeter, elapsed time, filling/dispensing of containers, comparison of weight and comparison of money.
- May include addition and subtraction with fractions and decimals and 4 by 1 multiplication and division.
- What are some good elapsed time questions to ask during EDC?
- Remember to go over the math chart often
- 12.1 Length- Benchmark of Rees to Kroger is about a mile or a kilometer. A baseball bat is about a meter or yard or you can use from the doorknob on a door. Demonstrate when converting from larger to smaller you put your arms out and then cross over chest to make a multiplication sign and vice versa for division.
- 12.2 Mass, Weight and Volume- piece of bread is about an ounce, loaf is a pound and bread truck is about a ton. The House of "G" for liquid measurement.
- 12.3 Time- Use number bonds and number lines for elapsed time. I added another day than what was suggested. Use questions from the released STAAR test from the past 2 years and problems in Motivational Math.
- Benchmarks, grid paper and math reference charts are the key!
Unit 11: Data Analysis
- (R) Represent data on a frequency table, dot plot(line plot), or stem-and-leaf plot with whole numbers AND FRACTIONS
- (S) solve one and two step problems using data in whole number, fraction and decimal form in a frequency table, dot plot (line plot) or stem-and-leaf plot.

- https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-sixth-grade-math/cc-6th-data-statistics/dot-plot/v/frequency-tables-and-dot-plots
- Lessons come from 3rd grade Bar and Pictographs and 5th grade stem and leaf.
Unit 13: Change to Multiplication and Division (algorithms)
- Find time to use the Glow in the Dark sticks! 3rd grade is using them to introduce angles! Primary for attributes of shapes. List ideas of how to use for 4th grade.
Scanned DCA Questions
- Can use with Chatterpix
- Can upload into SeeSaw
- Are they able to find the mistakes and justify?
- What kid of discourse goes on when discussing a new strategy?
Walk About!
- If time allows, let's take some time to walk through classrooms to see what our teammates are doing!
