Power Packs: Building Number Sense in Grades 4/5
I’m excited to share with you that our Building Number Sense in Grades 4-5 Power Pack is now available. All of our Power Packs are filled with games that teach parents strategies and tools to help their children build strong math skills.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, there have been a lot of changes in mathematics curriculum and pedagogy in recent years and a lot of parents don’t feel as prepared as they’d like to be when it comes to helping their child in math. The power of these Power Packs comes in the integration of strategies and tools that parents use as they play the games with their children. While playing the games, not only are parents learning about the new standards, they’re also gaining strategies they can use to help their child in math.
The strategies and tools in our 4/5 Power Pack are:
- Partial Products Multiplication
- Partial Quotients Division
- Distributive Property for single- and multi-digit multiplication
- Front End Estimation
- Fraction Bars
- Multiplying Fractions on a Number Line
- Rounding
- Order of Operations
- Standard Algorithms for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division
- Multiplication Strategies for Multiples of 10
