Math
By Nathan and Susan
We are brilliant math magicians! Some things we learn about are fractions, decimals, probability, and geometry. For probability we made spinners to see the chances of the paperclip lading on a certain color. We also do algebra. In algebra we figure out problems like 14+11=n. We are also learning about measurement. We measure the length and the width of different shapes to find out their area. Our favorite thing to do is games, but the games somehow relate to math. .Besides these we do Problem Solvers every Friday. Problem Solvers are books that have different kinds of problems that we solve with our team. They’re great!
Every class needs materials for math! Whether it’s textbooks or notebooks you need them. In 4K we have toolkits where we put some of the materials we use. For an example we keep rulers, slateboards, dry erase markers, and more. Besides our toolkits we also have textbooks, journals, folders, and notebooks. In our notebooks we pratice division and the problems we might do on the test, like fractions, and decimals.
At least once a week we have a quiz. The quiz is a math box that we have already done in the past. After we’re done with a unit we have a test on what we learned in that unit. We have two parts to the test. On the first part there is only one problem, but we have to show our work and explain how we did it. The second part is just a regular unit test, where we answer questions that we have just learned.
Every day we have math homework called Study Links, or we sometimes have Math boxes. The next morning we check our homework to make sure the answers are correct. Sometimes we have to study for an upcoming test. To do this we bring home our notebooks and textbooks. If we don’t study, we might get a bad grade! 4K Math is the best math in the world!
