4th Math Homework

By
Hello 4th grade families!

First off, a big thank you to everyone who attended math night! It was super fun and hopefully got everyone excited about math! If you did not attend you missed some important information: math homework will be changing for 4th grade. Instead of assigning IXL or paper homework, the homework expectations from now until the end of the year will be to practice math facts each school night for 20 minutes. Each student has a log that they are responsible for bringing to and from school everyday. It will be checked daily and if they do not practice or forget their log, they will be going to study hall.

At math night we discuss some different strategies for practicing math facts. Here is a quick overview of what we discussed:
Math Night Information
Time requirements per 50 facts:
  • 3rd grade- 2 minutes and 30 seconds
  • 4th grade- 2 minutes
  • 5th grade- 1 minute and 45 seconds
Ways to practice math facts:
  • Using a plastic sleeve and a math fact page, time the facts written with dry erase/vis-a-vis markers. Math fact pages can be found at www.math-drills.com
  • Flash cards
    • Make two piles, the known pile that is answered within 3 seconds and the unknown pile that takes longer than 3 seconds and practice the unknown pile
    • Sandwich- take the unknown pile and the known pile and stack them with 3 knowns and 1 unknown, then three more knowns and 1 unknown.
  • Apps
    • Math fact master
    • Math magician
    • IXL math facts (found under third grade)
  • Manipulatives
    • Dice- roll two dice and multiply them. Or if working on a specific fact, take that number and multiply it by the number rolled on the dice. Writing a list of the facts solved on a whiteboard or paper as they go is a good way to keep track of work!
    • Cards- same as dice
    • Dominoes- grab a domino and multiply the two sides or two dominoes and multiply together.
I sent a sheet home with students today with what facts they need to work on. Please feel free to follow the pacing guide handed out at math night, or just work on what they need to. The goal is to pass off one test a week. Please email me if you have any questions! We are looking forward to having students fluent in their math facts!

Dear Fourth Grade Parents, We are so excited to begin this new school year with your children. We hope your families have had an awesome summer with many fun and relaxing times together. We wanted to explain what your child's day will look like and would also like to tell you a little about ourselves. We look forward to getting to know you as we go through the year. Mrs. Antoniono will be in our classroom from 8:00am - 12:30pm.  You will reach out to her if your child is sick, or running late, or you have any other beginning-of-the-day concerns.  First thing in the morning your children will have writing with Mrs. Hyde. Then they will be with Mrs. Antoniono doing math from 9:15am to 11:15am  (snack is from 10:15-10:30)..  After that, they will have reading with Mrs. Moon before their 12:30pm lunch break. All fourth graders trade classrooms for reading and writing as Mrs. Antoniono teaches third, fourth and fifth grade math. After lunch, your children will be spending th

October, pictures and project

By
Good Evening! I'm sorry to say I forgot to send home pictures today as we were working on projects right until the last minute! I will be sure to send them home tomorrow. We have finished our first round of edits for the essays and the timelines. Those will both be completed this week, and students will start creating their models. I know they are looking forward to this next step. They have been real troopers with the research and we are all looking forward to the "fun" part of the project. They have learned soooo much! As they work on their plans for the models, they may be asking to bring some supplies in from home. Most supplies can be provided at school, but they may want some special items to add to their model. Thank you for your support in this. You have awesome kids, and I am loving working with all of them! Ms. Williams
