4TH Grade Common Core

MATH “FREE SAMPLES”

Test-Prep Review and Enrichment Projects

100% ALIGNED TO THE 4TH GRADE MATH COMMON CORE STANDARDS!

By Gina Kennedy

Dear Teachers, With this packet, I have included free “samples” from my “4th Grade Common Core Test-Prep and Enrichment Project Bundle” which may be purchased here:

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/4th-Grade-STAAR-Math-Test-Prep-Enrichment-Projects-BUNDLE-All-TEKS-2229881

This bundle includes 360 4th Grade standards aligned test-prep questions and 360 “no-prep” aligned math enrichment projects. The task cards are aligned to the 4th grade Common Core Standards, but relevant to most 4th grade math curriculum.

To be most effective, task cards should be engaging, purposeful and be an integral part of your math program and provide for multiple learning opportunities. On each task card you will find a standards based test-prep question for test review as well as a challenging enrichment problem that connects math to the real world.

The enrichment projects are great for whole class enrichment, advanced learners or even homework. The projects are teacher friendly and require no preparation. With this bundle, your early finishers and advanced learners will have hours of meaningful math projects to complete the entire year. With years of experience as a regular classroom teacher, gifted cluster teacher and Gifted Specialist my students thrived on challenging math activities like these and I’m happy to now make them available to you.

All of the resources in this bundle may also be purchased individually as shown below:
