A NEW APP FOR TEACHING ARRAYS
TIM'S TAKE on LLAMA DRAMA
This is a great app for younger kids to start learning how to use arrays. It's recommended for ages 6-8. I can see some with it 5 year olds and students in 3rd through 5th grade benefiting from this app.
I have enjoyed using this app my self and now have my kindergarten daughter using it.
Great App!!!

Assign lessons, practice and quizzes on LearnZillion
BELOW IS LEARNZILLION'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL THAT HAS LOTS OF MATH VIDEOS
LEARNZILLION HAS AN APP
TIM'S TAKE on LEARNZILLION.COM
This site is similar to Tenmarks.com. It has very good video lessons and will challenge students of all levels. This is a good site for homework or you could use it for "Flipped Lessons."
I sometime use this site just for the videos. A video can be a great way to reteach a concept to a struggling student.
Above there is a link to Learnzillion's Youtube page that has many videos to choose from without having to navigate the website.
Learnzillion.com is another great resource. Sign up or go to the Youtube channel to see if it's right for you.

NEWS TEKS IN 4TH GRADE
● Rather than using place value to read, write, compare, and order whole numbers, students are expected to interpret the value of each place value position as 10 times the position to the right or as one-tenth of the value of the place to its left.
● Students should interpret place value and compare whole numbers to the billions place.
● Students use expanded notation and numerals to represent the value of digits in whole numbers through 1 billion and decimals to the hundredths place.
● Students should round whole numbers to the hundred thousands place.
● Students should represent decimals to the hundreds place using concrete and visual models and money.
● Determine measurements to the hundredths place using a number line.
● When investigating fractions other than unit fractions, in which the numerator is 1, students should be able to join (compose) or separate (decompose) the fractions of the same whole in more than one way. (Example: 2/3=1/3+1/3)
● Students should be able to compare two fractions without using models or pictures.
● Students should be able to add and subtract fractions with common denominators, first using objects and pictorial models, and building toward using a number line and properties of operations.
● Students should add and subtract fractions using benchmark fractions (0, ¼, ½, & 3/4 ) and evaluate the reasonableness.
● Add and subtract whole numbers and decimals to the hundreds place using the standard algorithms-not just concrete and pictorial models.
● Students should represent the product of 2 two-digit numbers using arrays, area models, or equations including perfect squares through 15 by 15.

● Students measure and draw angles to the nearest whole number using a protractor.
● Determine the measure of an unknown angle formed by two non-overlapping adjacent angles given one or both angle measures.

· Multiplication Fact Fluency-each student is working on activities to support their individual goal
· Repeat Digit Place, Coin Riddles and/or Pig from Mini-Lessons for Math Practice
· Continue discussion about understanding story problems. Continue the retell, act out/model ideas. AVOID TEACHING KEY WORDS!
Begin discussing which types of actions are used in multiplication and division problems. Create an anchor chart for students to refer back to. For example: Multiplication Actions: equal groups of, repeated addition, rows/columns, arrays, opposite of division, area, all possible combinations, etc… Division Actions: dividing into equal groups, splitting into equal groups, sharing in equal groups, making equal groups, putting into equal groups, dividing in half, missing factor, opposite of multiplication, etc…NEW TEKS IN 5TH GRADE
