Word problems

Today we did a scoot about word problems. They had to draw a bar model for each word problem and then solve it. They got 2 and a half minutes at each station before they had to rotate. I had most of them in pairs but a few worked on their owns.

Here's the link to the free activity on tpt.

Time

Students in fourth grade are expected to be given end time, start time, and figure out elapsed time.
Example
I start cooking at 12:30pm, I finish cooking at 1:45pm. How long was I cooking?

They're also expected to be given start time and elapsed time and figure out the end time.
Example
I start dancing at 1:40pm and I finish after forty-five minutes. When did I finish?

Lastly they need to be able to figure out start time if given elapsed and end times.
Example:
I played for three hours and twenty-minutes. If I finished playing at 3:30, what time was it when I started?

Here's the link to my free time quiz.

Here are some links for different time games/activities:

Also had to take a photo of me and Ava today since we had matching outfits.

Data Unit

Unit Summary:

Students add, subtract, multiply and divide rational numbers, and use them to solve problems dealing with data, measurement, and personal finance.

Vocabulary:

Data, Categorical data, Numerical data, Whole number, Fraction, Decimal, Categories

Frequency table, Dot Plot, Stem-and-Leaf Plot, Graph title, Labels,Scaled interval

Essential Questions:

Why is it so important to know how to solve problems involving different measurements?

What concepts are important to understand when solving measurement problems?

TEKS:

• 4.9 Data analysis. The student applies mathematical process standards to solve problems by collecting, organizing, displaying, and interpreting data. The student is expected to:
• 4.9A represent data on a frequency table, dot plot, or stem-and-leaf plot marked with whole numbers and fractions; R
• 4.9B solve one- and two-step problems using data in whole number, decimal, and fraction form in a frequency table, dot plot, or stem-and-leaf plot. S
• 4.8 Geometry and measurement. The student applies mathematical process standards to select appropriate customary and metric units, strategies, and tools to solve problems involving measurement. The student is expected to:
• 4.8C solve problems that deal with measurements of length, intervals of time, liquid volumes, mass, and money using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division as appropriate.

Vocabulary:

Data,   Categorical data,   Numerical data,   Whole number,   Fraction,   Decimal,   Categories,   Frequency table,  Dot Plot,    Stem-and-Leaf Plot,    Graph title,    Labels,   Scaled interval,   Measurement,   Length,    Liquid volume,   Mass,   Perimeter,   Time

This unit is all about organizing data.
Here's a great website for this topic. You can even make your own graph here.


Here's a good site for stem and leaf plots.


Here's one for dot plots!
