MATH IS FUN!!!!

Good to have you back, Grade 4's!

How is everyone enjoying our unit on Patterning and Algebra? There are many math games that we have used to help us learn about patterning. We made many patterns with numbers, shapes and using the alphabet. See, you can have fun with math. When I was your age, I found math to be a challenge but I never gave up and with the help of my friends and family, I started to enjoy math! I even took math in university and now I am helping you to have fun learning math and we are learning something new every day! Even all of you are coming up with your own set of problems and sharing them with your classmates. I am very impressed! All of you are even teaching me new things to help me learn. Imagine that? Keep up the good work class!

If you want your parents to help you out with your homework, why not let them check out the expectation that is in the math curriculum and the following websites that will help you out?

Math Expectation: Patterns and Relationships:

-create a number pattern involving addition, subtraction, or multiplication, given a pattern rule expressed in words.

Here are the websites:
