Today we had a fun filled Friday in fourth grade! In math we are currently learning about fractions and decimals. This week we have been learning a new concept of changing fractions into decimals. To help us strengthen our understanding of this concept we have been working in new center activities. Today we played fraction battleship, fraction and decimal memory match, and fraction racko, where they later had to practice turning those fractions into decimals. We are really beginning to understand this concept. I am really proud of all of their hard work in math and in their other daily work! Today in gym class we played castle ball with the third grade! The object of the game was to knock down the other teams castles, before the other team knocks down yours. It was a lot of fun and the students really enjoyed themselves!
Fourth grade is in the middle of unit 7 in math. This unit is working more with fractions, line plots, and decimals. Since this week is spring break, we took Monday and Tuesday to review our unit concepts. On Monday we built boats out of tin foil and filled the boat with pennies until it sank. When our boat sank, we counted the number of pennies it took to sink our boat. We had a lot of fun doing this! Once we were done testing our boats, we plotted our numbers on a line plot. On Tuesday we played jeopardy to review our concepts, and made a fraction flower! I hope everyone has a safe and warm spring break!
