Fourth Grade Extension Activities

Welcome fourth graders of Room 10!

This is the spot - you've arrived! This is where you can find extra math activities if you're struggling or math challenges if you think things are too easy at the moment. This is where you can find social studies activities to enrich what we are doing in class. Want to see some science videos that are related to our current (or past) theme? Here is the place. Just follow the following steps and you'll be on your way!

1. Just scroll down and find the subject area you are searching for (ex: math).
2. Find the math chapter, social studies chapter, or science unit we are currently studying.
3. Click on the link and you will be taken to another website that hosts all of the activities.

They will all be in PDF format and you should be able to print them out at home or in school.

Use these pages to earn McMoney both in class and at home…use them to study for tests…use them if you're finished with your homework early and want something different…use them however best suits you (or if your parent or teacher suggests it!)

Good luck!

MATH



Follow the link below and you will find fourth grade math challenge activities you can print at home (or at school). Just click on the lesson you need and a PDF file should appear. Print it out at home and turn it in with your weekly homework for some much deserved McMoney! ($3 worth!)



Follow the link below for some cool problems of the week. Each one presents a different challenge - try one or try them all! There are two of the same problems on each page (originally intended to save paper for copying), so just do one half of the page or both halves if you need to do it a second time to get it right!



Follow the link below to try some interesting activities from a math series called "Math Rules". These activities ask you to think outside of the box and look for patterns and rules to solve math problems.


Follow the link below to do some super fun problems form a book entitled: Perfectly Perilous Problems. Hilarious, challenging, and dangerous!
