4th Grade Math: A Problem Solving Approach
Class Experience
US Grade 3 - 5
Beginner Level
Aligned with Common Core State Standards (CCSS)
This non traditional, hands on and discovery based course is perfect for a home-school curriculum or to use as a review. Students will explore numbers relationships by doing hands on activities, looking for patterns and solving complex problems. There are three primary goals of this course: 1. Students to develop flexible math thinking (the ability to see relationships and use those relationships to solve problems in a variety of ways) 2. Students to gain confidence in their problem...
