Homework News

At this time, students are generally assigned a few math practice problems that relate to the day's lesson, 30 minutes of independent reading, and either multiplication or division facts each night as their homework.  If students are on the Multiplication Superstar or Division Superstar board for the week, they are not assigned the facts practice that corresponds to their Superstar status. 

Other activities that would be helpful each night would include: 

  • extra multiplication and division facts practice

  • typing/keyboarding practice

 

Multiplication and Division Facts

Being fluent in multiplication and division facts will play a major role in student success in fourth grade math.  So many of our math concepts build on those multiplication and division facts. I strongly encourage students to practice both at home in addition to the assigned facts practice for homework.  

Here is the link for a great facts practice game that we use in our classroom.  I highly encourage students to use it!  https://www.mathschase.com/

4th Grade Field Trip

  • Stay tuned for more information about this year's field trip.

  • We will need many parent volunteers to work at our fundraiser, Santa's Secret Shop, in December. This event helps fund our trip!  Please let me know if you are interested in heading up this fundraiser.  We will be sending home notes a bit later asking for volunteers. 

 

Students and Parents, 

If you are looking for some additional resources and/or educational experiences, I have included some here.  In addition, the school has added some new student educational resources to the Student Resources page on the school website. 

 

There are also some links in my locker at the bottom of this page to some additional games and resources.  Some of these would be a great way to practice your math facts!

These include:

  • MATH FACTS PRACTICE GAME/ Math Chase

  • Division Games and Practice

  • Multiplication Games

  • Khan Academy

  • La Purisima Mission
