4th Grade Math Planning
March 19, 2019
Updates:
- DCA Data day is set for Thursday, March 21st. 4th grade math will meet with me in the morning and for reading in the afternoon. Tentative times are 8:00-11:20 and 12:00-3:30. Locations to be determined.
- We will use this time to identify the bubble students and AMM students to attend and fill out the letters. We will dig into data and begin preparing for the Relevant Review.
- Tutorials(now referred to as Math Club, will begin April 3rd-May 9th, on Wednesdays and Thursdays. We are looking for subs.
- Classroom teachers will pull the "bubble" kids again this year and will replace RM with IReady, but same format as last year.
- Maggie and I will not pull the bubble kids this year, but rather the 4th graders that we need to move up to meets and masters.
Data sheets from last year
- check to see how your students performed
Greg Tang: Anyone using Tang-A-Row?
IReady Learning Games: How to Navigate and Tips and Resources
Mari's Accommodations Spreadsheet: confirm on-line testing
Rees Accommodations for math
Please look for lesson ideas in LearnZillion, Flocabulary and Nearpod
Unit 10: Conversion of Measurement and Unit 11: Data Analysis- April 11th
Unit 10: Conversion of Measurements
We may need to take as 2 separate grades or come up with a plan for another major math grade. Will use the Area and Perimeter as a major grade for the 4th 9 weeks.
Did we take a major grade from the Relevant Review 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.
