Logicus Math Grade 4 Honors

About this event

This course is designed for high-performing students. Topics covered include: Process Skills in Problem Solving: Students will develop competency in thinking skills and problem solving heuristics through meaningful and challenging activities such as: Make a Systematic List, Inverse Operation Concept, Replacement Concept, Look For A Pattern (Numbers and Shapes), Draw a Diagram, Make a Supposition. Multiplication : The distributive property, multi-digit multiplication, using algorithms, the units digit. Exponents : Computing powers, order of operations, perfect squares, binary notation (base-2). Counting : Counting lists, choices, Venn diagrams, Factorials, and counting pairs. Division : Special quotients, dividing multiples of powers of 10, long division, divisibility. Logic : Logic puzzles, grid puzzles, liars, and truth-tellers. Factors : Primes, divisibility, prime factorization, factor trees. Fractions : Adding, subtracting, and converting fractions and mixed numbers; multiplying fractions and mixed numbers and dividing by unit fractions. Integers : Understanding negatives. Adding and subtracting positive and negative integers. Decimals : Place value, converting between fractions and decimals, comparing and ordering decimals. Probability : Counting strategies review, coins, dice, random events, and geometric probability. Data Analysis : Students will construct, interpret, and draw conclusions from various types of graphs. Geometry and Measurement : Students will engage with more advanced geometric concepts, including angle measurement, parallel and perpendicular lines, symmetry, and calculation of area and perimeter. The geometric intuition and proof-based approach of Russian Math are combined with Singapore Math's visual and hands-on learning techniques. Algebraic Thinking: Patterns, relationships, simple equations, and introduction to expressions. The Algebraic Thinking section of Logicus Math Grade 4 Honors advances students' understanding of algebraic concepts, helping them explore more intricate number patterns and relationships, comprehend the use of variables in more complex scenarios, and solve multi-step equations. This course cultivates an enhanced understanding of mathematical principles, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills and nurtures a sustained passion for mathematics. Subtopics: Advanced Patterns and Relationships: Students will study more complex numerical and geometric patterns, developing their ability to express patterns and relationships using algebraic expressions and equations. Working with Variables: Students will gain proficiency in using variables to represent unknown quantities in more complex mathematical expressions and equations. They'll understand how variables can represent one or many numbers and how they are used to solve problems. Solving Multi-step Equations: Building on their equation-solving skills, students will learn to solve multi-step equations that involve multiple operations. They'll learn strategies such as balancing equations, using inverse operations, and performing operations in the correct order. Real-world Applications: Students will continue to apply their algebraic thinking to real-world problems. They'll translate complex situations into algebraic equations, using variables and equations to solve these problems. The CAM program at Logicus continues to foster problem-solving and critical thinking skills, ensuring a well-rounded mathematical education. The program includes a 90-minute class each week throughout the academic year. For any inquiries, please contact us at info@logicus.school or 914-243-1431. Thank you for considering Logicus!
