Outcomes, not lecture notes.
Compare fractions with like and unlike denominators using cross-multiplication (the 'bottoms up' method)
Interpret and draw bar models to represent fractions and equivalent fractions visually
Identify numerators and denominators and explain what each tells you about a fraction
Classify angles as acute, obtuse, right, or straight and measure them using a protractor
Distinguish between parallel, perpendicular, and intersecting lines
Apply angle and line concepts to 2D and 3D shapes and real-world contexts like architecture and design
Use mental math strategies, including the 'nine trick,' to solve multiplication problems efficiently
Tackle word problems by identifying key information and choosing the right mathematical approach

Don't let summer slide steal the math skills your child worked all year to build. Summer Learning: Bridging the Gap to 5th Grade Math is a targeted course designed to lock in 4th grade foundations and build the exact skills students need to hit the ground running in 5th grade. Students will master fractions — from reading bar models to comparing unlike denominators using cross-multiplication — while also diving into geometry concepts like classifying angles, identifying line types, and analyzing shapes. Along the way, they'll pick up clever mental math tricks, like the 'nine trick' for multiplication, that make problem-solving faster and more confident. This course isn't just review — it's a momentum-builder that turns summer into a head start.
