Mrs. Roach's and Mrs. Lipscomb's 4th Grade

Current Math Studies

What do the digits in a number mean?

How can I represent and compare data?

What strategies can I use to find the unknown value in an expression?

What are different ways I can show multiplication and division?

These questions and more will be addressed this first nine weeks.

Please be sure to work with your child on their multiplication facts...this is vital to our exploration of 2 digit multiplication.
