Greetings Math Students,
Here is the work from a Wednesday:
Math: pages 19 and 20 for Thursday
Over the last two days we have begun working on our subtraction skills. We noted that this was something we reviewed a bit last year in 3rd grade, but there really were not lessons covering it.
We reviewed how to borrow from numbers in other place vaules...especially with zeros.
4,000
- 299
_____
*Here we'd need to go all the way to the thousands place and ungroup from there. Then we take that borrowed thousand and REDISTRIBUTE it over to the hundreds, the tens, and the ones place
3,99(10)
- 299
______
3,701
*Today we also reminded ourselves that we can check our subtraction by using addition.
10-7 = 3 Then we can take the difference (3), readd it to the 7 and get our original first number 10.
3. Writing: We're getting close to drafting our personal narratives (stories about ourselves). Should be done in about 10 days.
Hope that helps.

Greetings one and all,
Here is the Math homework for a Monday:
Math: With the bus evacuation drill this AM we had a shortened time. We did our work in class and NO NEW HOMEWORK TONIGHT!!!
Take care.

Greetings one and all,
Here is the Math for a Thursday:
*Note that Mangoes and Papayas have different homework due to the fact they took a test on Monday, they Kiwis did not get into the computer lad to take that test till today, that is why their homework if shorter
Pages 13 and 14
We're working on addition with larger numbers.
We developed two unique ideas to help us out here. One is a spatial issue. If you simply take the smaller of the two numbers and rewrite that under the larger number, you can really save work space on your paper and make things a little easy on yourself:
Example:
24,123 + 4,113
Would look like
24,123
4,113
The other method we talked about was using regular lined paper and turning the paper sideways and using the lines as guides to help with our place value alignment. We also reminded folks that when we write these numbers in we should start lining up the ONES place then move out to the larger place values.
****We're looking at a Unit test on Friday, October 9
Keep working hard guys and gals,

Greetings one and all,
Welcome back after a first full week. Nice to feel like we have our routine started and we're getting used to it!
Today was an abnormal day in Math. We took the Delta Math assessment. 17 questions have focused on reviewing our skills from last year. This gives us teachers another source of data to look at when checking to see how our kids are growing throughout the year.
Because of this...no lesson today...and thus NO HOMEWORK!!!
*Look for our first small "mini" quiz this week Wednesday.
Take care, and we'll be back to work tomorrow as usual!

Greetings one and all,
Here is the work from Math class today:
H and R pages 7 and 8
*In the planners I had the kids write that I didn't give them any time to start the work, so know that they are beginning from scratch tonight.
*Not too tricky, but...
Same lesson as Tuesday night, using Expanded, Word, and Standard Notation, only with larger numbers. (in some cases all the way to the millions place)
*Check Tuesday's blog for a reminder of those terms.
Good simple night of work, but read those DIRECTIONS carefully!
Take care.

Greetings one and all,
Here is the homework and information from Tuesday's math lesson:
Unit 1: Lesson 2
*H and R pages 3 and 4 for Wednesday
Today, we continued to work with identifying PLACE VALUE, but we introduced 3 ways in which numbers can be written.
1. Standard Form: Simply the way we are used to writing numbers. If our example is 932. The 9 is in the hundreds place, the 3 is in the tens place, and the 2 is in the ones place.
2. Word Form: In this case we write the number out using words. If our example is 932 once again, we'd write the number as, nine hundred thirty-two.
(It is important to note that a hyphen goes between the tens and the ones digit, but it's not something we will take points off for...just be aware)
*Also note...no AND in any of that!
3. Expanded Form: In this case we are taking each number and stretching it out using the + symbol to show the value of each place.
900 + 30 + 2
Each number is given the value of it's place.
Take care, and keep practicing.

Welcome to a New 4th Grade Math year at Peach Plains!
We did Lesson 1 of Unit 1 today. Here is what we talked about:
Math: (all groups) pages 1 and 2 in your Homework and Remembering Journals (due Tuesday)
*We are starting off the year working on place value. We're working with the ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands place.
*Simple stuff here. Don't make it tricky, just follow the directions. Ignore the work QUICK, quick tens are still just talking about the 10s place.
*Dots for ones, sticks/lines for 10s, boxes/squares for 100s, and rectangles for 1,000s
You'll do great. See you tomorrow.
