ST Math:
The students will complete 2 - 45 minute sessions for the week, or 3 – 30 minute sessions during the scheduled computer lab times.
Homework: Students will complete mathematics, science, and social studies homework for the lessons being covered for the week.
Monday – Friday
Objectives: 4.OA.3 Solve multi-step word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the 4 operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
4.OA.4 Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1-100. Recognize that a whole number is a multiple of each of its factors. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is a multiple of a given one-digit number. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is prime or composite.
4.OA.5 Generate a number of shape pattern that follows a given rule. Identify apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself. For example, given the rule “add
3” and the starting number 1, generate terms in the resulting sequence and observe that the terms appear to alternate between odd and even numbers. Explain informally why the numbers will continue to alternate in this way.
Essential questions:
• How can I apply Math strategies I’ve learned in fourth grade?
• What do good mathematicians do?
Bell ringers:
The students will complete bell ringers based on the topics being covered in mathematics, science, reading, and language arts.

The students will take the 2 nd 4 th 9 week exam covering multi-step word problems.
Enrichment: Early Finishers will be working on an additional activity related to the mathematics topics being covered.
Differentiation: Students will be arranged in the classroom in cooperative learning groups/elbow buddies. The groups will include students of varying skill levels, Low to Moderately Low, Medium to
Proficient, and Upper Proficient to Advanced. The teacher will work with each group/student individually making sure the students are understanding the material being covered for the week.
Assessment: Observation, and Independent practice handouts, Homework

Closure: The teacher will have students identify something that they feel that they still don’t understand from the lessons covered each day.
