Ms. Murray's Math - Introducing Equality in Equations

Hey Fourthies! (LAST UPDATE OF THE SCHOOL YEAR) 

As you guys may have heard, this is our last week of learning for this school year. Can you believe your 4th Grade year is coming to a close? I hope that every single one of you know how extremely proud I am to be your teacher. You have made my teacher heart so incredibly thankful and grateful for this wonderful & a little bizarre school year. My favorite part of each new school year is getting to know all of my kiddos and watching them grow into their own unique & awesome ways. All of you have come so far and I've enjoyed seeing it from day one. I know I keep saying I am so proud, but you guys have no idea how true those words really are. You took one of the most challenging school years and kept working and growing no matter how difficult the distance learning became. I am going to end with this- you all are INCREDIBLE and will always have a special place in my heart and in my classroom. Now that we are in the home stretch, let's finish the week out strong! 
 
I love you guys ALWAYS (& miss you more than EVER)

-Ms. Murray

Below is a link to a CHALLENGING end of the year Math Review!
 
This is OPTIONAL, however, it is a fun activity where you will be going on a quest to break out of the classroom and save summer break! You will need a pencil, paper, and may use a calculator if needed. While you are working on this activity, if you come across something you don't understand, message me on TEAMS! You also may do this activity with a family member or a friend if you would like. Remember, it is optional because of the challenge, however, I am excited to see who will take the challenge! :)
