No live meetings for this class
Class Details:
*** No live meetings for this class ***
Class Fees are $10 or 100 points per semester.
The big ideas in grade 4 include: developing understanding and fluency with multi-digit multiplication, and developing understanding of dividing to find quotients involving multi-digit dividends; developing an understanding of fraction equivalence, addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators, and multiplication of fractions by whole numbers; understanding that geometric figures can be analyzed and classified based on their properties, such as having parallel sides, perpendicular sides, particular angle measures, and symmetry.
The mathematical work for grade 4 is partitioned into 9 units:
Factors and Multiples
Fraction Equivalence and Comparison
Extending Operations to Fractions
From Hundredths to Hundred-thousands
Multiplicative Comparison and Measurement
Multiplying and Dividing Multi-digit Numbers
Angles and Angle Measurement
Properties of Two-dimensional Shapes
Putting it All Together
Materials: inch tiles, centimeter cubes (unit cubes from base-ten blocks are the same thing), colored pencils/crayons, ruler, Connecting cubes, yard stick, pattern blocks, protractor, grid paper, access to printer for lessons and extra pages linked in lessons
Students will turn in 8 required assessments per semester. These required assessments alternate between investigating grade-level concepts by choosing an assignment from a choice board and turning in a curriculum check-in. Each choice board offers both online and pencil-and-paper options. The curriculum check-ins will be graded based on each student's progress in their individual curriculum. This new aspect of the class will encourage students to make progress through the grade-level class.
Anchor classes are asynchronous, teacher-led classes. Students do NOT have a live meeting. Daily work is provided, and the anchor teacher grades the final weekly assignment. Teachers provide biweekly videos and add instructional supports to each day's lesson. For more information about the curriculum and assignments, please visit the Braintree website.
