4th Grade Math Newsletter

A special thank you to everyone who helped make our fall party a success! Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. What a wonderful memory we were able to create together!

In October we spent our time focusing on Chapter 2 and working through the following:

• Multiplication Comparisons
• Estimating Products
• Using the Distributive Property
• Using Expanded Form & Partial Product Methods
• Using Mental Math Strategies
• Multiplying using 2-digit, 3-digit, and 4-digit numbers with regrouping

Our focus in Chapter 3 will be multiplying 2-digit numbers!

Math Fact Practice is assigned EVERY Tuesday and Thursday through the use of XtraMath.com. Please know that fact practice can be completed more frequently.
The more that your student practices, the more they advance through the levels, the more certificates they will receive. Once I am notified that a student has completed a level and a certificate is available I print it and present it to them in class. What a wonderful motivator!
