4th Grade Curriculum:
MATH
Our Math Curriculum is the Texas Go Math by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. We cover all state standards required for Texas 4th graders.We begin the year with Number and Operation: Place Value, fraction Concepts, and Operations then continue with Number and Operations: Whole Number and Decimal Operations. Students are exposed to several multiplication and division strategies. The curriculum stresses knowing basic facts to do mental math. The second half of the year we begin Algebraic Reasoning, Geometry and Measurement, Personal Financial Literacy (students become little entrepreneurs with market days at SPX) and end with Data Analysis.
RELIGION
_________________________________ for 4th grade is an interactive text that requires students to reflect and answer questions as each chapter is studied. Students apply the questions to their own lives as they learn about the teachings of the Catholic Faith.
