*This is subject to change.
As I know of any changes I will let you know.
This week in math we will continue our work with fractions. Students will compare mixed numbers that are larger than 2 using various strategies. In addition to using strategies that students have already learned, (comparing to benchmarks, same numerator, same denominator, common multiples), students will learn how to cross multiply as a useful strategy.
We will also work with line plots. Students were exposed to line plots in 3rd grade. In 3rd grade students primarily worked with whole numbers. In 4th grade students will be given fraction and mixed number data points. Students are expected to construct line plots, analysis the data on a line plot, and and answer questions about that data.
For the line plot above students may be asked:
*How many total inches of snow fell during December?
*What is the difference between the greatest number of inches of snow and the least number of inches of snow for December?
This week in science we will discuss erosion as a process that changes the structure of the earth's surface. Students are expected to know the difference between the weathering and erosion.
This week in social studies students have two sheets to complete. One sheet is on chapter 5 lesson 4 which deals with Florida entering the Union and becoming a state. The second sheet covers all of the lessons in chapter 5. The top of the sheet is fill in the blank (spelling will count) and the bottom is multiple choice. Students should return both sheets to on Friday.
