This is a small group session that focuses on math concepts for students in 4th grade. This session is led by a highly qualified teacher that interacts with the students online. Our small groups for 4th grade are typically around 5 students. Sessions are 60 minutes in length for a concept deep dive and meet once a week with breaks and movement incorporated. Families are provided weekly curriculum, projects, and activities, that meet the need of the student.
These sessions are personalized for your child’s learning. The are specially designed to be purposeful and focused instruction that allows your child the ability to interact and learn directly with a live teacher, but without sitting for hours at a time on the computer. Each instructor tailors and provides students with structured work off-screen which allows them to develop their independence apply their knowledge in meaningful way. This goal is to promote positive and continuous learning outcomes that build confidence and success for each child.
If they ever have a question, we offer active support from a certified teacher for students enrolled in this course 5 days a week during 9am-7pm EST .
Concepts included in year long learning but are not limited to:
Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems.
Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison.
Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison.
Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
Gain familiarity with factors and multiples.
Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1-100.
Recognize that a whole number is a multiple of each of its factors.
Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is a multiple of a given one-digit number.
Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is prime or composite.
Generate and analyze patterns.
Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule. Identify apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself. For example, given the rule "Add 3" and the starting number 1, generate terms in the resulting sequence and observe that the terms appear to alternate between odd and even numbers.
Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering.
Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators.
Build fractions from unit fractions.
Understand a fraction a/b with a > 1 as a sum of fractions 1/b.
Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts referring to the same whole.
Decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way, recording each decomposition by an equation.
Add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators.
Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole and having like denominators.
