What if your child could learn fourth-grade math by building treehouses, playing games, solving mysteries, cooking, creating, and even correcting a mathematically challenged raccoon?
Welcome to Count Me In!, a complete 36-week, hands-on fourth-grade math curriculum designed to transform math from a collection of worksheets into an exciting journey of discovery, creativity, critical thinking, and real-world problem-solving.
Created especially for homeschool families, learning pods, and co-ops, this comprehensive curriculum combines essential fourth-grade mathematics with engaging activities, Socratic discussions, creative projects, games, and meaningful practice.
No endless lectures. No reliance on memorization alone. Just meaningful mathematics that children can explore, understand, explain, and apply.
Every great math adventure needs a companion!
Meet Remy, an adorable raccoon who loves leftovers, especially mathematical remainders. Unfortunately, Remy isn't always the most careful mathematician.
Each week, Remy sends learners a note describing his latest mathematical adventure. There's just one problem: Remy has made a mistake!
Students become mathematical detectives, investigating Remy's reasoning, identifying errors, and writing letters explaining how to solve the problem correctly.
Through Remy's Mix-Ups, children develop mathematical reasoning, problem-solving skills, written communication, and the confidence to question answers rather than simply accept them.
This comprehensive fourth-grade math program includes 36 lessons organized into 12 engaging units, covering major fourth-grade mathematics standards.
Place Value Palace: Understanding numbers to one million, comparing numbers, rounding, and estimation.
The Big Add-venture: Multi-digit addition, subtraction, regrouping, and real-world word problems.
Factor Factory: Multiples, factors, prime and composite numbers, and multiplication relationships.
Multiplication Mansion: Mental math strategies, partial products, and multi-digit multiplication.
Division Junction: Division strategies, long division, remainders, and equal sharing.
Pattern Detectives: Number patterns, mathematical rules, and logical reasoning.
Fraction Friends: Equivalent fractions, comparing fractions, and fraction models.
Fraction Kitchen: Adding and subtracting fractions, mixed numbers, and fraction relationships.
Fraction Factory Floor: Multiplying fractions by whole numbers, measurement, and line plots.
Decimal Diner: Tenths, hundredths, decimal notation, and comparing decimals.
Measure Up: Measurement conversions, time, money, distance, area, and perimeter.
Angle Adventures: Geometry, angles, symmetry, and a culminating Math Carnival.
Count Me In! follows a consistent weekly learning experience that encourages children to discover mathematical ideas before being introduced to formal procedures.
Discover: Investigate a mathematical mystery and explore a new concept through hands-on discovery.
Build: Learn mathematical vocabulary, examine worked examples, and practice new skills.
Play: Reinforce learning through card games, dice games, strategy challenges, and movement.
Create & Talk: Apply mathematics through art, building, cooking, creative projects, Socratic discussions, and reflective writing.
Practice: Strengthen fluency with targeted problems, real-world applications, challenges, and spiral review.
Each week also includes a short daily Fact Fuel activity to build mathematical fluency and confidence.
Students won't just read about mathematical applications. They'll experience them!
Throughout the year, learners participate in a continuing Treehouse File project, designing a dream treehouse and returning to it as they develop new mathematical skills.
They'll explore costs, measurements, division, fractions, decimals, floor plans, and angles before bringing their ideas together in a final model.
Additional creative activities include mathematical games, construction challenges, fraction explorations, measurement investigations, and a Midyear Math Fair.
The year concludes with the Count Me In! Math Carnival, where learners showcase their mathematical understanding through creative projects and games.
The comprehensive Facilitator Guide provides parents and educators with the tools they need to confidently teach fourth-grade mathematics, even if math was never their favorite subject.
Inside you'll find:
36 fully developed weekly lessons across 12 thematic units
Step-by-step teaching instructions and explanations
Learning objectives and standards alignment
Materials lists and preparation guidance
Hands-on discovery activities and creative projects
Mathematical vocabulary and worked examples
Common misconceptions and teaching strategies
Games, movement activities, and strategy discussions
Socratic questions and guided mathematical conversations
Practice-set answer keys
Differentiation and extension opportunities
Twelve mastery checkpoints and assessment rubrics
Flexible pacing suggestions for homeschool and co-op settings
Additional games, field trip ideas, and learning resources
The program emphasizes understanding and mastery rather than traditional high-pressure testing. Students demonstrate their learning through projects, discussion, practice, mathematical explanations, and hands-on checkpoints.
IMPORTANT: The companion Student Workbook is required to complete this course.
The Student Workbook is a separate, coordinated resource containing the student-facing activities, practice problems, math journals, discovery pages, game boards, learning trackers, project pages, and assessment materials used throughout the 36-week program.
The Facilitator Guide provides the instructional framework, teaching guidance, and answer keys. The Student Workbook gives learners a dedicated space to investigate, practice, create, and demonstrate their mathematical understanding.
