Grade 4 Independent Work Packages
Independent study packets (ISPs) are printable booklets that contain a week's worth of learning materials across reading, writing, math, and more tailored to your child's grade level. These ISPs were designed specifically for students working at home during the COVID-19 outbreak. You can create your own account and access other grade materials if you wish...
** NOTE ** While these websites are American and some of the readings will pertain to American topics and some of the math questions will use Customary units of measurement, the information can still be useful for practicing reading and math skills.
Each week different numbers will be provided... students are asked to work with at least one number - preferably one that challenges them a little bit and that they are comfortable with - and create a table using the information provided on the Number of the Week webpage.
The numbers for this week are:
37

Worksheets
The following are two websites that provide free worksheets for all stands of math...
Use the links above to complete math activities and to help learn your multiplication math facts. By the end of grade 4 you need to know up to and including the 10 times tables... if you wish to try 11 it is the same as the ones times table but double the number... ie. 1 x 2 = 2 11 x 2 = 22
