Mr. McDougall's 4th Grade Blog: Fractions on a Number Line

Wednesday, February 24, 2016

Today we did our regular routine. We started with breakfast. After breakfast we went over last night's test prep questions. Then we looked at the test prep question for today. After modeling how to solve the problem, the students then did one on their own. Tonight they have a few to practice to keep this review skill fresh in their heads. When then went right into checking last nights homework to make sure there was no misunderstandings.
Then we did the video on demand and the interactive lesson for GoMath 8.5. The focus today was understanding fractions using a number line. After the interactive lesson, we did the unlock the problem and together work on the smartboard. Then students did the on your own work. We came back together to check the work and make sure that they completely understand before heading home to practice tonight for homework.

Test prep went a little long today due to having a new article to read. We took the time to deeply read the article. We stopped, we made connections, we made every effort to model what good readers do as they read. After reading the story, we looked at two of the questions they have already had and figured out why the answers were right or wrong. They have one question from the story to work on tonight.
We finished ReadyGen Lesson 2B.13 today. Our focus was on the writing lesson where we focused on putting information into groups based on topic.
We finished literacy by having 20 minutes of independent reading to work on reading and AR tests.
