Think Through Math
Dear Families,
In fourth grade we are fortunate to have a program called Think Through Math. By the end of the week, each student will have loged in and taken a pre-assessment. This assessment is used to develop their individual math pathway. It will give students lessons on concepts they still need support on from 3rd grade, teach them lessons on 4th grade concepts, and push them into some 5th grade concepts when they are ready. The great news is it can be accessed at home! Use the link below and your student uses their school log in/password to access it.

Have fun,
Miss Parker
