Our most recent chapter in math has been an exciting one. We have discussed estimation, factors, prime vs. composite numbers, array and area models, and multiples. Students have used their basic math facts to solve more complex problems. We have even had the opportunity to apply what we learned to real life situations in story problems! Once students answered these problems, they were provided the opportunity to explain their reasoning to the class. This allowed for our fourth graders to see and hear not only what other students were thinking, but how they arrived at the same answer using a different method. They loved teaching the class their new approaches!
