The curriculum for 4th grade made is based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills  (TEKS).  The TEKS focus students' learning on applying  4th grade mathematics to solve problems connected to everyday experiences and activities inside and outside of  school.  In solving problems students are asked to make a plan, carry out the plan and evaluate the solution - is the solution reasonable? 

We have two six weeks remaining in the school year.  The curriculum for the 5th six weeks is listed below.  Please review this information, talk with your child about it and discuss with them how the knowledge they gain through the curriculum helps them in real life. 

5th Six Weeks 

Students will be expected to: 

Describe the relationship between sets of data - by looking at tables, charts and graphs. 

Demonstrate translations (slides), reflections (flips) and rotations (turns)  using concrete models. 

Verify that shapes are congruent (the exact same shape and size). 

Verify that shapes have symmetry. 

Make generalizations about combinations of a given set of data. 

Interpret bar graphs. 

The 5th six weeks curriculum also includes a review of  topics covered previously during the school year in preparation for Math TAKS test in April.   These  include fractions, decimals, modeling arrays, multiplication, and division.  We will also cover identifying angles (right, acute and obtuse); identifying and describing parallel and perpendicular lines, describing 2 and 3 dimensional figures, temperature, and measurement and conversion - including weight, mass, capacity, length and volume.  We will also review the concepts of temperature and time.
