It’s long division season in 4th grade!! Check out the 3 different methods we have learned to use to divide. The Big 7 and Box Method are probably unfamiliar to most parents. See if your child can show you how they work!

[Mrs. Manley @MrsManleysClass]

We capped off the week by getting together for the first time with our kindergarten buddies in Ms. Tremont’s class! ❤️

In science, we investigated what happens to energy when objects collide by completing a coin collision lab. Ask your child what happened when the pennies and nickels collided!

Lots going on this week in 4M!! We went from multiplying by 1-digit numbers using the partial products method of multiplication to multiplying by 2-digits. We connected it to the area model that we previously learned.

We continued our review of the parts of speech today. We played a fun game of reverse charades and then figured out that all these words are verbs!

Can you see the connection between the three methods we have learned?

Day 1 of our multiplication and division unit today! 4M students were introduced to these methods. We started with an easy problem so that we are familiar with the methods before turning it up a notch! 😊

[Mrs. Manley @MrsManleysClass]

4M students have many hopes and dreams for the school year! Now we are working as a class to draft a set of class rules.

Teamwork Thursday in 4M! We completed 2 teamwork challenges today - putting together a puzzle w/o and w/ talking to highlight the importance of communication and the Great Paper Chain Challenge where groups worked to create the longest paper chain possible with 1 piece of paper!

Today 4th graders at CAS participated in Traffic Town, presented by @AvenuesinMotion. Students learned the meaning of all those traffic signs, as well as safety rules for the road. They were even able to take turns as drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians. 🚦🚗🚲🚶🏼‍♀️

Area Model vs Partial Products (Bow Tie) vs Standard Algorithm…plus rounding to estimate to check our answer for reasonableness!

So proud of the 4th and 5th grade student council members who presented during our assembly on Friday. 4M students love participating in reverse inclusion activities and getting to know new friends at CAS! ❤️

4M students ROCKED area models today!! We will learn the bow tie strategy using partial products next.
