Science Gears and Pulleys


Welcome greade 4 students

I told you that the ‘test’, on simple machines, would be a review. Not to worry everybody did an excellent job!

So we are continuing with Pulley and Gears, however, as you learned today we have moved into compound machines. Remember compound machines are a combination of two or more simple machines working together. The first link below will help you identify the simple machine from the compound machine. The second link below is a review game for simple machines.

Simple machines ( review) 


Have a great weekend

Math has terms!


Hello!

 

Well it is nice to see that our class is moving at a good pace for math. Just to review, we have moved into geometry: prisms and pyramids. I know Math can get a bit confusing with all of the terminology. I found this great math site that will help you with ANY terminology that you need. Like a dictionary it will define the word that you looked up and will display a picture to help you visualize it. 


I hope you find it very useful!

Hello grade 4 students

I am taking the classes’ idea and making a FUNZONE. I will start with 3 links and then I will post 1 site every other Friday.

Thank you for the great idea!

1) Garfield Zone

2) Captain Underpants

3) Disney 


I love it when we work as a team!

 Keep up the excellent work grade 4’s

HELLO 

As promised I am posting the review of the vocabulary for ‘Simple machines’ for your test on Wednesday.  I know there is a lot of information to take in, however keep reviewing and find simple machines (tools) in your house and try to figure out how they make work easier.

 During the test there will be 5 Simple Machines in the classroom. You will have an opportunity to see, touch and work the simple machines. This will help you on the test if you are having trouble visualizing how each one works. 

Relax the test is a review of what we have already done in class! No Surprises I promise!

 

 

See you tomorrow

Math: Multiplication


Hello grade 4 students! 

I hope you are enjoying the sunshine! 

I know we have been working hard on the multiplication tables consisting of multiples of 1, 2, 5, and 10. Everybody is doing an excellent job with multiplying! Here are some fun games you can play in order to practice. If you are finding the questions too easy please feel free to try some of the other questions. You can use your multiplication chart that we created in class to help you.

 Don’t forget to have fun!  

 

Enjoy your weekend!
