= Family Letter = @https://www.wrightgroup.com/download/em/em3mm_g4_u04_family_letters.pdf

The Family Letter is an introduction to the unit. They contain background information, vocabulary, games, and more. These are great to know what we will be learning in the fourth grade.



= Study Link Help = @http://everydaymath.uchicago.edu/parents/4th-grade/em-at-home/unit_4/

If you’re having problems with the Study Link Homework, this website contains further explanations and examples of the skills.



= Unit 4 Vocabulary = @http://everydaymath.uchicago.edu/parents/4th-grade/em-at-home/family-letters/4-4-vocab.html

Vocabulary is a large part of the Everyday Math curriculum. Click the above link to review this unit’s vocabulary terms. Try to use these terms when completing the homework and making out of classroom connections.



=Ordering Decimals Game= []

Another great interactive way to practice a concept from the BBC. You need to hang each "decimal picture" in order from highest to lowest. Once completed, click "done" and see how you did. Even though this is a concept just taught in Lesson 4.3, it shows up again on future assessments. So, PRACTICE!

(Lesson 4.3)



= Washline 2 = []

Another decimals ordering game. Organize the shirts from highest to lowest to test your skills. I like this game because Level 3 will give you decimals in the thousandths.

(Lesson 4.3)

=Counting Money= @http://www.abcya.com/counting_money.htm

Challenge yourself by putting the game of "expert mode." For use fourth graders we should stick with level two or three. See how fast you can count!

(Lesson 4.6)



= Printable Rulers = []

This is a very well done page from Mitchell Charity. You can print many different types of rulers. We will mostly be using metric units. Students will need to measure items at home for homework. Make sure that you do not select the "fit to page" option when printing.

(Lessons 4.8 - 4.10)



=Measuring Game= @http://www.abcya.com/measuring.htm

This is easily the best measuring game I have come across. The really helps students understand the concept that a ruler starts at "0," not at the end. It will also help students know how and where to place a ruler to measure an item.

(Lessons 4.8 - 4.10)

=Do Anytime Activity=

Gather money from piggy banks or wallets. Ask your child to show you two different amounts, such as $1.33 and $4.20. Practice adding or subtracting the amounts. Your child can use a calculator to check the answers.
