The choice of a fourth grade math curriculum is an important one. It can be a “turning point” year in terms of either feeling successful or frustrated with math. Students will start to learn that there is more than one way to solve a math problem, and they will begin applying what they are learning in math to real world issues.
On this page, you will get an overview of what your child should know going into the new school year, as well as the upcoming 4th grade math objectives. You’ll also get tips and tricks on helping your fourth grader make the most of mathematics this year.
