I have been a fourth grade teacher at a public school (high poverty and ESL) for 18 years. Every year many of my students come in struggling to remember how to do the subtraction algorithm (even though our third grade teachers are wonderful). So I've been reteaching the algorithm for many years. I've used manipulatives and worksheets, we've acted it out...a lot of time and effort for minimal results. This year I started using place value boxes (that is what I call the visual organizer I crea

This is a series of worksheets to review customary and metric weight measurement. Each worksheet has students read measurements on customary and metric scales (no scales necessary - included on worksheets), make conversions within a system, and estimate the appropriate unit of weight measurement for objects in their lives. Designed to be done periodically after students have been taught a short unit on weight. Excellent real world application of number sense, multiplication and division conce

24 weeks of review of 4th grade place value, addition/subtraction, rounding, and multiplication/division skills. Use as homework, a weekly in-class review, at a center, or with an intervention group. Each review clearly identifies which Common Core standards are covered. I chose Common Core standards that were skill based and have proven somewhat difficult for my students in the past. The sequence of standards reflects how many curriculums are structured, starting with place value and moving

Included are 20 progress monitors. Each progress monitor covers all the 4th grade Numbers and Operations Base Ten standards. Terms are defined and strategies suggested on each page to help students practice successfully. Please note these do NOT have answer keys yet. I am working on them but they will not be ready for awhile. Use these to document student progress on grade 4 standards over the year, for standards based reporting on report cards, as a review for end of year tests like the S

This is a series of worksheets to review customary and metric capacity measurement. Each worksheet has students make conversions within a system, and estimate the appropriate unit of weight measurement for objects in their lives. Designed to be done periodically after students have been taught a short unit on capacity. Excellent real world application of number sense, multiplication and division concepts. Great for integrating math with science activities! All questions tied to Common Core
