Word Problem Workshop: Grades 3/4

Word problems are a challenge for most students.  Why? 

Poor reading comprehension? Weak math skills?  Need for more practice?  A combination of these factors?

Solution:  More practice without jeopardizing a student's math grade.

Class #1: place value, addition, money, subtraction
Class #2: multiplication and division
Class #3: perimeter and area 
Class #4: fractions


This class is appropriate for students who:
..are ready for more challenging math
..want to improve their current grade in math
..prepare in advance for the next chapters in math class
..improve chances for a higher score on a standard test (state tests, entrance examinations for private schools, etc.).

Problems will be done as a small class.  Students are encouraged to share how they correctly solved problems.  

When it comes to word problems, there are only a few new math skills in the 4th grade.  This is why these two grade levels were combined.
