Go on a measurement scavenger hunt.Īrm kids with measurement tools, then send them off to find objects that match the free printable challenge cards. Learn more: Unschooling Conversations 18. Try to fill your page completely before your partner does! (Have students write the area and perimeter in each block for practice along the way.) Roll the dice to see the dimensions of your next rectangle, then mark it on the board. Battle with area and perimeter to fill a graph page. Snag some plastic eggs from the dollar store and write fractions on one half, with equivalent decimals on the other. Use plastic eggs to match up fractions and decimals. Draw a six-digit number card, and have another student help them line up by saying things like, “The 9 is in the hundreds place.” Once they’re in line, ask some follow-up questions to confirm understanding. Get fourth grade math students up and moving by assigning them numbers. (See more cool ways to use dominoes for fraction games at the link.) Then they compare the two to see whose is larger. Declare a fraction war with dominoes.Įach student draws a domino and positions it as a fraction.
4TH GRADE MATH GAMES DIVISION SERIES
Students draw fraction cards, swapping them out to build a series of four in ascending order. In this version, they’re racing to match equivalent fractions (get some free printable cards to use at the link). Spoons is a classic and beloved card game where players race to match four-of-a-kind and grab a spoon in each round. Give Spoons an equivalent fraction twist. Students use the answer for each to complete the bracket for the next round. Hold a Quotient Tournament.ĭivision problems go head-to-head to see which has the larger quotient. (Savvy players will use rounding to determine which numbers to pick next!) If they get it right, they place a marker on the free printable board. They multiply them together, while their partner checks their answer on a calculator. Multiply large numbers to get Three In a Row.įourth grade math students work on multi-digit multiplication by choosing one number from box A and one from box B. Learn more: Tales From a Fourth Grade Math Nut 10. Pass out a few sheets per student, and have them crumple them up into “snowballs.” Allow a 30-second safe “snowball fight,” then have each student pick up a snowball and read the number out loud, rounding it correctly. Up for a little controlled chaos in the classroom? Write one number on each sheet of paper, underlining the place it should be rounded to. For extra practice, have them write out the word names too. They build the numbers on the included worksheet to get the total. Grab the free printable cards, then have kids roll the dice and choose a card that matches. Use playing cards to practice decimal place values.įourth grade math students take turns drawing cards, competing to build the highest possible number to the thousandths place. These free printable Place Value Yahtzee boards include differentiated versions for various skill levels. At first they’ll just be guessing, but eventually they’ll start to see a pattern emerge. As they begin guessing numbers, write them inside the circle if they fit the pattern, and outside if they don’t. Guess then deduce with Number Pattern Solver.ĭraw a circle and set a number range, then tell fourth grade math students you have a pattern in mind. Award points to correct answers, if you like.
Collect and talk about the notes to see which are helpful in finding the right number to fit the pattern. Lay out a pattern problem and ask students to write down what they notice about it on sticky notes. Introduce patterns by asking “What Do You Notice?” Play continues until all numbers are marked. The second player then marks all the remaining factors of that number (which add up to their score for that round).
The first player marks a number (their score for that round).
