Engaging, hands-on lessons will help your child develop a strong understanding of math, step by step.

• Multiplication with multi-digit numbers
• Long division
• Equivalent fractions
• Adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers
• Measuring angles
• Area, perimeter, and geometry
• Multi-step word problems
• Decimals, measurement conversions, and graphs

Your child will develop strong math skills and a positive attitude toward math with fun activities like the Mental Math Arcade, Fraction War, Race to 180°, and Decimal Least to Greatest.  This set includes:

• Instructor Guide,
• the two full-colour Student Workbooks (Part A and Part B)

You just need to supply some simple household items (like play money, base-ten blocks, a protractor, and playing cards) to make math come alive for your child.  No expensive manipulative kits needed.

The workbooks are consumable.  Purchase extra workbooks if teaching more than one student.  You will need both Workbook A and B for the full year.

Features:

• Hands-on, incremental lessons that steadily build conceptual understanding
• Daily review to ensure children retain what they’ve learned and master essential skills
• Games and real-world activities make math fun
• Easy to use, with clear directions and explanatory notes
• Optional picture book recommendations and math enrichment activities

Most children are ready to start when they are 9. Your child is ready to begin Fourth Grade Math with Confidence if he can:

• Read, write, compare, and understand place value in numbers to 10,000
• Use the traditional process to add and subtract 4-digit numbers written vertically. (You might know these problems as “stack math” or “borrowing and carrying.”)
• Name answers to the multiplication and division facts (up to 10×10 and 100÷10). She should be able to recall the answers to most within 3 seconds or so. It’s okay if she’s still developing fluency with the tricky 7s, 8s, and 9s.
• Use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to solve word problems, including two-step word problems.
• Find the area and perimeter of rectangles.
• Read, write, and compare simple fractions.

If your child is not fluent with the multiplication and division facts but knows the rest of the skills listed above, he is probably ready to begin Fourth Grade Math with Confidence. Make sure to add 5 minutes of daily multiplication fact or division fact practice to each lesson until your child becomes more fluent with the facts.
