Math Reference Sheets BUNDLE – Supports Grade 4

While teaching fourth grade I noticed that my students need a lot of support with grasping and applying math concepts and strategies. These reference sheets are like cheat sheets and a study guide for the math concepts and standards we cover in Grade 4 math.

Students glue the half sheets side by side into their math notebooks and take their notebooks home daily to assist with homework and/or study for an upcoming quiz or test. Parents find these math reference sheets helpful too because it gives them a better idea of what and how we are learning today’s math. They serve as support for both parents and students.

I like to copy these onto colored paper and put the larger 8.5 x 11 reference sheets on a math reference wall or bulletin board to support my teaching and my students’ learning. I also use these in my small groups to support struggling students. We often refer back to these supports to review and practice math concepts and strategies.
