Math

Topics of Study:  We will continue to review a variety of fourth grade skills as well as solve word problems.  Our main focus this week is the traditional algorithm of multiplication.  We will look for connections between this strategy and the partial products strategy that many of us are already using.  We are seeking to be efficient in multiplication of larger numbers.

                                       Math page due Friday (will be assigned in class Thursday)

Topics of Study:  We will review the steps of the scientific method and draw conclusions using the results of our gummy bear experiment from last week.  We will also begin our study of the spheres of Earth.

Dates to Remember:  BrainPop quiz on the scientific method- due Friday morning at 9:00 
                                       am.  Remember, you can take the quiz as many times as you like.  I                                               will keep your highest score.  E-mail your results to                                                                           jkaylor@hoover.k12.al.us. :)
