In grade 4, instructional time focuses on three critical areas:
(1) developing understanding and fluency with multi-digit multiplication, and developing understanding of dividing to find quotients involving multi-digit dividends;
(2) developing an understanding of fraction equivalence, addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators, and multiplication of fractions by whole numbers;
(3) 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.

In 2017, SPS began using Bridges in Mathematics, 2nd edition from The Math Learning Center, as our primary resource for elementary mathematics.
As shared on the MLC website, " The curriculum focuses on developing students’ deep understandings of mathematical concepts, proficiency with key skills, and ability to solve complex and novel problems. Bridges blends direct instruction, structured investigation, and open exploration. It taps into the intelligence and strengths of all students by presenting material that is as linguistically, visually, and kinesthetically rich as it is mathematically powerful." For family resources, including unit overviews and additional games and links, please see the Math Learning Center Family Support website. Select your student's grade level. |
