Factors, Multiples, Bees and Bingo!

 We have been doing some fun activities to review FACTORS and MULTIPLES in fourth grade. Here are some pictures of those activities. The students used spinners and dice for their activities. We will be having a test soon on these skills. They are important skills to learn because we will use those when working with fractions in the coming weeks.




Everyone is working hard to earn their Bee's tickets in the Buzz Reading Club. Many of the students are using their free time at school to read. We will have a fun trip to the Bees game on April 13th as a reward for all of their hard work! :)



As a reward for good behavior last week, we played MULTIPLICATION BINGO. The fourth graders loved it and it was a great way to practice those basic multiplication facts!

Multiplication Mazes are a good way to get more practice on those multiplication facts.

We did a new kind of "warm-up" for Math today. This came from the book Codebreakers . We started off with some easy puzzles and w...
