Curriculum this week:
Math- In Math this week, we will be learning about decimals! The standards for fourth grade decimals are as follows:
Understand decimal notation for fractions, and compare decimal fractions.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NF.C.5
Express a fraction with denominator 10 as an equivalent fraction with denominator 100, and use this technique to add two fractions with respective denominators 10 and 100.2For example, express 3/10 as 30/100, and add 3/10 + 4/100 = 34/100.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NF.C.6
Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100. For example, rewrite 0.62 as 62/100; describe a length as 0.62 meters; locate 0.62 on a number line diagram.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NF.C.7
Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.
Social Studies- In Social Studies this week, we will be discussing and sharing what we learned on our field to Raleigh.
Science- We will be learning about forces and motion and magnets this week in Science. We were able to check out the district science kit and are very excited about the lessons that we have planned!
