US Grade 4
🟦 Please note there are NO classes: (1) Week of Thanksgiving, and (2) Week of Christmas, (3) Week of New Year's Eve 🟦 This is a comprehensive class designed for rising 4th Graders. From September to May, the entire year of math strands needed to master 4th-grade math is covered. Each class session, we will start with an ice breaker discussion (e.g., would you rather question or student-driven topic). Then, Miss McKinney will demonstrate the topic of the day by solving 3 problems using Zoom Share Screen and Zoom White Board. Next, Miss McKinney will guide each student to solve one problem (e.g., child A and Miss McKinney will solve question #4 together), then have all students solve several problems (e.g., all students will solve questions #10, #11, and #12 then put their answers in private chat to teacher). This is the "I do, We do, You do" teaching method. Miss McKinney will use different resources to help students learn full-curriculum. Each session will be based on one chapter/lesson from: 1. Barron's Common Core Success Grade 4 Math 2. McGraw-Hill Education Math Grade 4, SECOND Edition 3. Spectrum Math Grade 4 4. Spectrum Fractions Grade 4/5 5. IXL The Ultimate 4th Grade Math 6. Worksheets from IXL/Education 7. Worksheets from SplashLearn 8. Worksheets from k5Learning 9. Worksheets from Twinkl (International company based in UK) Please see the Syllabus for topics for each week/session.
Learning Goals
From August/September to May/June, students will practice one topic each week from the entire year full-curriculum of USA 4th grade math to be prepare for USA 5th grade math.

“Kahoot! is a global learning platform company. Kahoot! games can be played anywhere, in person or virtually, using any device with an internet connection.” A Kahoot! game is a quiz with multiple choice answers and the games include topics such as Year End Math Assessment. Kahoot! is a fun way to test a student's knowledge of a math topic such as adding fractions, multiplying decimals, solving for area of a rectangle.
Kahoot! app is free and does not require an account. The teacher provides the website link (http://www.kahoot.it) and a game pin then the student creates a silly screen name; thus, no account is needed, and no personal information is given to Kahoot!

Supply List
1. Optional Textbook: McGraw-Hill Education Math, Grade 4, SECOND Edition 2. Paper and Pencil 3. Please note in this class we will be using annotation tools for Zoom White Board to practice math problems. Unfortunately, Chromebook does NOT allow students to annotate on Zoom White Board so your child will need a different device. If a desktop with mouse, or laptop with touchpad/mouse is not available for student, iPad or tablets do allow annotation.
