In fourth grade we get to tackle many new
math concepts as well as build on skills you already know. We will
get to practice our basic facts everyday, have mini-lessons with new
material, and have lots of opportunities to apply what we know.
We will do lots of different kinds of lessons using fun technology,
hands-on manipulatives, games, and a mix of large group, small group, and
individual activities. Our time in math will be filled with hard work,
focus, fun, and rewarding success. Here we go! |

State Test Practice Test
Students will practice taking the NeSA-M periodically throughout the
year. This is a great opportunity to preview types of questions that
they will see in the spring. You can download/print a copy of the
practice test
HERE. Review skills and concepts covered with your child
regularly to help prepare and deepen your child's understanding.
Ask kids to explain why they think a certain answer is correct, or ask
them to teach you some helpful test taking strategies they've learned.
Have fun practicing and discussing math!
The IXL webpage is a wonderful spot to
start practicing or reinforcing skills.
THIS PAGE
is organized by the Nebraska Math Standards. You can read through
the specific expectations and breakdown of concepts to find precisely
what fourth graders will see on the state test. Then, choose a few
games to play related to interesting or necessary skills. Even
10-15 minutes of review or game play is enough to big difference come
springtime. Have fun, and enjoy enhancing your mad math skills!! |

In the fall of 2009 we get to begin
a new math series, Saxon. We are very excited about the resources and opportunities
for students to build and gain greater success with our new series. The information
below is gathered from the Saxon Website.
Hands-on approach with a Difference
All new concepts are developed through hands-on activities and rich
mathematical conversations that actively engage students in the learning
process. Concepts are developed, reviewed, and practiced over time.
Students move from the concrete to the pictorial to the abstract.
Why Saxon Works
Daily mixed practice
Frequent, cumulative assessment
Opportunities for connections, communication, and justification
Hands-on support
