Rock N Learn assembled a team of teachers known for getting high scores from their students on state-mandated math tests. We also examined standardized tests in several states and discovered the winning strategies for boosting scores and reducing stress. Markos clear explanations, fun songs, and outrageous humor add to the excitement.\r
\r
Although the math material on this video is at a third grade level, students in the fourth grade will also benefit from the review of concepts and strategies for getting top scores on a standardized math test.\r
\r
Marko the Pencils irresistible humor throughout the program helps students stay focused. Step by step, kids practice the top strategies proven to boost their test scores on a math test. They learn to analyze word problems, filter extraneous information, and rule out multiple-choice options that could not be correct. By following these steps, students have a much better chance of choosing the right answers.\r
\r
Students learn the importance of reading each problem carefully, checking answers to see if they are reasonable, and knowing their math terms and definitions.\r
\r
Kids gain valuable practice with problems involving: multiplication, division and other operations; counting money and making change; time passage and clocks; graphs, charts, number lines, and coordinates; congruent shapes; estimating and identifying fractions; units of measurement; temperature; patterns; number sentences and fact families; making a diagram, list, table, or chart to solve a math problem; understanding place value; line of symmetry; multi-step problems; estimation; simple geometry, area, and perimeter; and simple probability.\r
