4th grade will finish the unit on Measurement and Geometry this week and begin the next unit on Fractions. We will begin our study focusing on equal fractions. Learners will explore equal fractions in several ways. We will use fraction strips, number lines, and area models to demonstrate equal fractions. This is a video that will support our learning. https://learnzillion.com/lesson_plans/9049-recognize-equivalent-fractions-using-area-models

Learners will continue their study of shapes. We will investigate symmetry and how to divide a figure into two congruent parts. A shape may also have multiple lines of symmetry and we will learn to we find these, as well. Important vocabulary: symmetry, congruent, and line of symmetry.
I hope you enjoyed seeing your child’s interdisciplinary projects at Expo Night! There will be an art project involving fractions that ties into Chinese New Year on Monday. Next week we will continue our study in Lines, Line Segments, Rays, and Angles. We will learn how to use protractors to measure angles. Important vocabulary will include right angle, obtuse angle, and acute angle. Learners will explore making angles using rubber bands and geoboards for a hands on experience. It is only a 4 day week, with no school on Friday.
