In this video, parents will learn about the mathematics concepts and skills that their student will learn in 4th Grade. Parents will learn about the important role that the mathematical practices play as students deepen their understanding of place value, deepen their understanding of multiplication and division, develop efficient number strategies to solve problems involving larger numbers, explore fractions and begin to investigate decimals, explore angle measurement and properties of geometric shapes, measure objects using standard units and further investigate data.
This video provides an overview of the Grade 1 Mathematics Standard 1.NR.5 to support teachers and teacher leaders with the implementation of Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards. A thorough explanation of the standard and learning objectives is provided by leading classroom experts in Georgia.
A visit to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta proves to us, and hopefully to our audience, that a simple interest in math and technology can lead to a wide variety of career opportunities. Although we take a fun and loose approach to learning about the Federal Reserve, our Teachable Moments are truly insightful. They include a description of what this institution is and does and a discussion of the gold standard and exactly what gives money its value.
