Grade 4 - Progress in Mathematics

Dear Family,Today our class began Chapter 1. We will learn about place value. Let’s do

the activity below together so I can review the skills I will need in order tounderstand the math in this chapter. Then we can read some of the new

vocabulary I will learn in Chapter 1.Love, ____________________

DeaToday our class completed Chapter 1. We learned how to read, write,rFamily,

compare, and order numbers to hundred thousands. These skills areneeded to work with numbers and to understand place value.

We explored patterns of skip counting with 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, and 10s, whichwill help us to learn multiplication facts. We practiced rounding 3- and

4-digit numbers to the nearest ten, hundred, or thousand. This skill isnecessary for estimating with numbers. We also worked with money,

which will help us make and count change.Love,________________________

QueHoy nuestra clase terminó el capítulo 1. Aprendimos a leer, escribir, compararrida familia:

y ordenar números hasta los cientos de miles. Este conocimiento es necesariopara trabajar con números y para entender el valor posicional. Aprendimos

a contar de 2 en 2, de 3 en 3, de 4 en 4, de 5 en 5 y de 10 en 10, lo que nosservirá para aprender operaciones de multiplicación. Aprendimos a redondear

números de 3 y 4 dígitos hasta la decena, centena o millar más cercano. Esteconocimiento es necesario para hacer estimaciones con números. También

practicamos con dinero, lo cual nos ayudará a la hora de dar o recibir cambio.Con cariño, _____________________________

Keep your family involved in

what you are learning. For

each chapter, there are two

letters to your family. Use the

fi rst letter at the beginning

of the chapter, to review

previously learned skills with

a family activity, and read

about the new skills you will

learn. The second letter tells

your family about the skills you
