Congratulations to my three math classes! They killed it on the semi finals, now moving to the quarter finals. Will it be two of my classes battling it out for the 4th grade county championship title? I’m hoping ….🥳💪🏻🐯💙🐯

Students are working together in groups to complete steps 1-3 on Unit 4.2 TAG choice board project, "Designing a Restaurant ". It was FABULOUS. Tomorrow they will design an advertisement and determine the cost to run it in a local newspaper.

It’s a few days late, but we had a mini math celebration to honor our 100th day of school by simplifying fractions and finding “benchmark” fractions! We are over halfway through the school year?! @pgcpsTAG @GWES_PGCPS @pgcps @pgcpsK5Math @TonyaW0621

Students play “Grabbing Factors” with their knowledge of prime and composite numbers, as well as factors, to determine the best strategy to win the game! Competitive juices were flowing! @pgcpsTAG @GWES_PGCPS @gwes_pta @pgcpsK5Math @TonyaW0621 @pgcps @pgcpsCurriculum

Students use base reasoning and explanations in Ms Mackowiak’s 4th grade class on a given pictorial representation and explain how that pictorial model represents a mathematical concept, such as plotting fraction equivalence on an open number line. #GWES

Equivalent fractions…let’s see ‘em! Students worked in teams to identify equivalent fractions and determine patterns in fraction strings. 💪🏻@GWES_PGCPS
