RI.4.3 Explain events, procedures, ideas, or concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text, including what happened and why, based on specific information in the text.
This week, we will be working to understand three specific types of nonfiction texts while focusing on cause and effect. When working with cause and effect it is important to remember the cause of an event is the reason why something happened while the effect is what happened due to the reason. This can be a difficult idea to grasp for students, so pointing out causes and effects in everyday life can help students decipher between the two.
Math
4.OA.4 Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1–100. Recognize that a whole number is a multiple of each of its factors. Determine whether a given whole
number in the range 1–100 is a multiple of a given one-digit number. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1–100 is prime or composite.
4.NF.1 Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ
even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
This week we will be working on understanding prime and composite numbers and using those to find the greatest common factor between two numbers which will allow us to simplify fractions.
