Teacher Bob here.  I have taught grades 4 to 8 for more than 25 years and I have to say one of my favorite courses to teach is math. Not only is math important (we use it in many areas of life), it's fun. 

Why did the girl (or boy) wear glasses to math class?  Answer:  It improved di-vision.

Seriously, while I do crack the odd joke in class, my classes are both fun and educational.  I'm a laid-back style teacher and encourage engagement with my students.  

At the beginning of class, we say our hellos and then down to business.  I teach the weekly math concept using both PowerPoint and an Interactive Whiteboard. The students and I then work on problems together, before they work independently. All the while, Teacher Bob will be providing feedback on their work. 

So, for a fun and educational approach to learning grade four math, join us in Math Success With Teacher Bob. 

See you in class!

Teacher Bob:)

In our math lessons, we will work towards:
1.	Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2.	Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3.	Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4.	Model with mathematics.
5.	Use appropriate tools strategically.
6.	Attend to precision.
7.	Look for and make use of structure.
8.	Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
