ABC EF GHIntroduction toFourth Grade Everyday Mathematics® Welcome to Fourth Grade Everyday Mathematics.It is part of an elementary school mathematics curriculum developed by the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project (UCSMP). Everyday Mathematicsoffers students a broad background in mathematics. Some approaches may differ from those you used as a student, but the approaches used are based on research, field test results, and the mathematics students will need in this century. Fourth Grade Everyday Mathematics emphasizes the following content: Algebra and Uses of VariablesReading, writing, and solving number sentences Algorithms and ProceduresExploring addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division methods; inventing individual procedures and algorithms; and experimenting with calculator procedures Coordinate Systems and Other Reference FramesUsing numbers in reference frames: number lines, coordinates, times, dates, and latitude and longitude Exploring DataCollecting, organizing, displaying, and interpreting numerical data Functions, Patterns, and SequencesDesigning,exploring, and using geometric and number patterns Geometry and Spatial SenseDeveloping an intuitive sense about 2- and 3-dimensional objects, their properties, uses, and relationships Measures and MeasurementExploring metric and U.S. customary measures: linear, area, volume, weight; and exploring geographical measures Numbers, Numeration, and Order RelationsReading, writing, and using whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percents, negative numbers; and exploring scientific notation STUDY LINK 00 Lesson Title Copyright © Wright Group/McGraw-Hill 2 Name Date Time STUDY LINK 11 Unit 1: Family Letter Operations, Number Facts, and Number SystemsPracticing addition and subtraction to proficiency; and developing multiplication and division skills Problem Solving and Mathematical ModelingInvestigating methods for solving problems using mathematics in everyday situations
3 Copyright © Wright Group/McGraw-Hill Naming and Constructing Geometric Figures During the next few weeks, the class will study the geometry of 2-dimensional shapes. Students will examine definitions and properties of shapes and the relationships among them. Students will use compasses to construct shapes and to create their own geometric designs. Please keep this Family Letter for reference as your child works through Unit 1. concave (nonconvex) polygon A polygon in which at least one vertex is “pushed in.” convex polygon A polygon in which all vertices are “pushed outward.” endpoint A point at the end of a line segment or a ray. line Informally, a straight path that extends infinitely in opposite directions. line segment A straight path joining two points. The two points are called the endpoints of the segment. parallelogram A quadrilateral that has two pairs of parallel sides. Opposite sides of a parallelogram have equal lengths. Opposite angles of a parallelogram have the same measure. polygon A 2-dimensional figure that is made up of three or more line segments joined end to end to make one closed path. The line segments of a polygon may not cross. quadrangle (quadrilateral) A polygon that has four sides and four angles. ray A straight path that extends infinitely from a point called its endpoint. rhombus A quadrilateral whose sides are all the same length. All rhombuses are parallelograms. Every square is a rhombus, but not all rhombuses are squares. trapezoid In Everyday Mathematics,a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides. vertex The point where the rays of an angle, the sides of a polygon, or the edges of a polyhedron meet.

Copyright © Wright Group/McGraw-Hill 4 Do-Anytime Activities To work with your child on concepts taught in this unit, try these interesting and rewarding activities: 1.Help your child discover everyday uses of geometry as found in art, architecture, jewelry, toys, and so on. 2.See how many words your child can think of that have Greek/Latin prefixes such as tri-, quad-, penta-, hexa-, andocta-. 3.Help your child think of different ways to draw or make figures without the use of a compass,protractor, or straightedge. For example, you can trace the bottom of a can to make a circle, bend a straw to form a triangle, or make different shapes with toothpicks. 4.Challenge your child to draw or build something, such as a toothpick bridge, using triangular and square shapes. Or show pictures of bridges and point out the triangles used in bridges to provide support. In Unit 1, your child will play the following games. Addition Top-ItSeeStudent Reference Book,page 263. This game provides practice with addition facts. Polygon Pair-UpSeeStudent Reference Book, page 258. This game provides practice identifying properties of polygons. SproutsSeeStudent Reference Book,page 313. This game provides practice with simple vertex-edge graphs and developing game strategies. Subtraction Top-ItSeeStudent Reference Book, pages 263 and 264.

Place the anchor of your compass on the dot and draw a mark on the circle. Step 2Place the anchor of your compass on the mark you just made and draw another mark on the circle. Step 3Do this 4 more times to divide the circle into 6 equal parts. The 6th mark should be on the dot you started with or very close to it. Step 4With your straightedge, connect 3 alternating marks (every other mark) on the circle to form an equilateral triangle. Use your compass to check that the sides of the equilateral triangle are about the same length. Follow each step below. Draw on a separate sheet of paper. Repeat these steps several times.

STUDY LINK 19 Unit 2: Family Letter Name Date Time 34 Copyright © Wright Group/McGraw-Hill Using Numbers and Organizing Data Your child is about to begin this year’s work with numbers. The class will examine what numbers mean and how they are used in everyday life. In today’s world, numbers are all around us—in newspapers and magazines and on TV. We use them to count things (How many people are in the room?) to measure things (How tall are you?) to create codes (What is your Social Security number?) to locate things in reference frames (What time is it?) to express rates, scales, and percents (How many miles per gallon does your car get? What percent voted for Jamie?) Sometimes students will need to interpret a collection of numbers. The class will learn to organize such collections of numbers in tables and graphs and to draw conclusions about them. Computation is an important part of problem solving. Fortunately, we are no longer restricted to paper-and-pencil methods of computation. We can use calculators or computer programs to solve lengthy or complex problems. Your child will practice mental and paper-and-pencil methods of computation, use a calculator, and have opportunities to decide which is most appropriate for solving a particular problem. Many of us were taught that there is just one way to do computations. For example, we may have learned to subtract by “borrowing.” We may not have realized that there are other ways of subtracting numbers. While students will not be expected to learn more than one method, they will examine several different methods and realize that there are often several ways to arrive at the same result. They will have the option of using the methods with which they are comfortable or even inventing one of their own. Mathematics games will be used throughout the school year to practice various arithmetic skills. Through games, practice becomes a thinking activity to be enjoyed. The games your child will play in this unit will provide practice with renaming numbers, with addition, and with subtraction. They require very little in the way of materials, so you may play them at home as well. Please keep this Family Letter for reference as your child works through Unit 2.
