You now have access to all Math in Focus student learning
In the second trimester these are the areas we will be focusing on: Fractions, mixed numbers and decimals.
In our final trimester of fourth grade focus will be on geometry: squares, rectangles, angles and measurement.
As always I encourage students to practice their math facts daily to increase their automaticity. All multiplication and division facts 1-12 is one of our fourth grade math goals.
