Welcome to 4th Grade Math
Importance of Fact Memorization
One of the most important skills your child needs for success in 4th Grade Math is mastery of multiplication and division facts through 12. Double digit multiplication, long division, decimals and fractions are based on fluent knowledge of these facts.
Below are some web resources available for practice with basic facts, as well as other strands of math. |
Tips and Tricks for Parents
Reading word problems (sometimes referred to as "Math Situations") can be tricky for students. It is important that students use all their critical reading skills. They must find the main idea of the problem, and it helps to visualize themselves in the same situation posed in the problem. Always ask if the word problem is combining or separating. Combining will use addition or multiplication, separating will use subtraction or division.
We use a four step problem solving process. See the document below. |
