Happy New Year Everyone,
I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful vacation. We are at least coming back to a short week. Students only have school on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week.
1/3 Tuesday
No School Teacher Planning Day
1/4 Wednesday
Students Return to School
January 4th-27th
FAST PM Testing Window
This week in math we will begin working on unit 9. Unit 9 will be a continuation of our study of fractions. In this unit, we will focus on addition and subtraction meanings and strategies with fractions. We will decompose fractions as well as add and subtract fractions in mathematical and real-world contexts.
In this unit we will cover the following standards:
*MA.4.FR.2.1
Decompose a fraction, including mixed numbers and fractions greater than
one, into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in multiple ways.
Demonstrate each decomposition with objects, drawings and equations.
Example: 9/8
can be decomposed as 8/8
+
1/8
or as
3/8
+
3/8
+
3/8.
*MA.4.FR.2.2 Add and subtract fractions with like denominators, including mixed numbers
and fractions greater than one, with procedural reliability.
Example: The difference 9/5
−
4/5
can be expressed as 9 ๐๐๐๐กโ๐ minus 4 ๐๐๐๐กโ๐ which is
5 ๐๐๐๐กโ๐ , or ๐๐๐.
*MA.4.AR.1.2 Solve real-world problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions with
like denominators, including mixed numbers and fractions greater than one.
Example: Megan is making pies and uses the equation
1
3/4
+ 3
1/4
= ๐ฅ when baking.
Describe a situation that can represent this equation.
This week in science, we will continue learning about force and motion. This will be our last unit on physical science. When we finish this unit we will move to our earth/space science standards. This week we will begin learning that objects have a position. If the position changes the object is in motion. Objects can move in different ways: in a straight line, curved lines, or back and forth. Students will learn that speed tells you how the position of an object changes during a certain amount of time. Students will also learn how to calculate speed by dividing how far an object goes by the time it takes to get there. Students will also learn the difference between speed and velocity. Velocity is the speed and direction of an object. So for example, That she is walking at a speed of 3o meters per second. She is walking at a velocity of 30 meters per second south. And finally we will learn about acceleration. Acceleration is any change in velocity. An objects velocity changes if the object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.
Monday: No Homework
Tuesday: Math:
Wednesday: Math: Freckle Facts Practice

Have a Wonderful Week,
Ms. Johnson
