In this class, we will review math and reading standards from 4th grade in order to prepare students for grade 5. The lessons will be specific to the student needs. For example, if a student needs review in mostly math, the class will be catered to that need. Also, if the student needs support in reading, that will be the focus. This class is all about individual needs in order to be ready for 5th grade! 

In this class, I will incorporate student needs and interests. My goal is to work from student strengths and build from there. This is a one to one class so no other learners will be present.  Class will begin with a review and go into a new concept each lesson. All skill levels are welcome! 

Class concepts include: 

-Identify the main idea of what’s been read, explaining how the author used facts and evidence to back up the text
-Compare writing from different cultures
-Understand information presented in drawings, timelines, charts, and other non-text formats
-Take notes and organize facts; create oral and written reports using the information
-Participate in class discussions about specific questions and share their own ideas and understandings in relation to the discussion
-Use dialogue and descriptive language in stories to show a character’s inner life

-Solve multi-step word problems, including those that use units of measurement
-Work with multi-digit numbers
-Compare fractions by looking at the top (numerator) and bottom (denominator) numbers; create fractions that are equal to each other (1/2 and 2/4) and add and subtract fractions with the same denominator (Watch a video of how students compare fractions.)
-Recognize that multiplying fractions is like adding and subtracting whole numbers (Watch how kids learn how to multiply fractions.)
-Learn to change fractions with the denominators in multiples of ten (10, 100, 1000) to decimals
-Compare decimals and fractions using > (more than), = (equal to), and < (less than) and place them correctly on a number line
