4th Grade
Our 4th Grade curriculum provides opportunities for students to exercise their creativity — writing original compositions, applying their growing math and science knowledge in innovative ways, and more.
With differentiation tips built into each lesson, learning guides will be able to adjust instruction to their students’ unique abilities. Using our detailed Lesson Manuals as your guide, you’ll help your students:
Learn and apply the essential elements of explanatory/argumentative writing – from presenting evidence to constructing an effective, grammatically correct paragraph.
Apply the properties of light, energy, and waves and a knowledge of Earth processes to solve real-world problems.
Explore the ancient cultures of North America and our nation’s history from its founding through the Civil War period.
Learn the basics of geometry and solve problems involving simple fractions, decimals, and units of measurement.
