Number Forms Notes

Today we created a foldable for our math journal that includes the 4 forms a number may take.  Students in 4th grade are required to be able to write numbers in various forms and transfer them back and forth between forms.
The Common Core State Standard that we are focusing on for this week is is 4.NBT.2 which states

Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form. Compare two multi-digit numbers based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.

We will break this standard down into it's pieces and focus on a different part for the first few days of the week.

These are the notes from class today.

We also discussed the patterns we found from completing the How Many Ways activity that students completed over the weekend.  I was very impressed with level of academic conversation we were able to have about to have about this activity.

In social studies, we are learning about the 4 hemispheres of the world. We are identifying the continents and oceans on each hemisphere.
