Fourth Grade Common Core Math, Weekly

Math can be difficult and frustrating for many students. Often times, skills build upon each other creating learning gaps and making more advanced concepts feel impossible. 

Other students may find math to be easy breezy! Maybe they are gaining momentum in their current math courses and are looking for a challenge. 

Look no more! This class is perfect for high achieving 3rd graders, 5th graders who need extra support, 4th graders learning the material and anyone in between!  

In this math class we will introduce, analyze, and practice individual math problems using a spiral method. This means the lessons do not build upon each other! You can join this class at anytime through the year or miss a class without missing a beat! This method is a great way to build confidence, review or preview multiple fourth grade standards, and flex your math muscles! 

Each class will begin with a short "icebreaker" question, include a mini math game and an opportunity for students to ask questions at any point! 

We will be practicing 22 questions types with different problems in each class. Depending on the students skill levels and prior background knowledge, we should review 2-4 questions each class that are more in-depth. My goal is for every student to feel they understand the concepts modeled and practiced. Please message me if you have questions about a specific week!
