4th Grade Math: Work in class today included writing new story problems for multiplication arrays and playing multiplication math games to practice facts. Thanks to Mark (parent of a 4th grader) for helping students as they wrote their problems. One group of students began an ongoing activity that all students will participate in called The 9 Lines. This is a multi-sensory approach to teaching the multiplication facts developed by David Berg of Making Math Real.
We continued our Spot Writing at Strawberry Creek Park during Writer's Workshop today. Many students chose to sit next to the creek-- the observations and descriptions of what they saw/heard/felt were all amazing!
