Math Isn't Just Something You Learn. It's Something You DO!

Get ready for 36 weeks of mathematical adventures filled with creative challenges, hands-on discoveries, exciting games, real-world problem-solving, and one very lovable raccoon who could use a little help with his math!

Count Me In! 4th Grade Hands-On Math Student Workbook is a comprehensive, 424-page companion workbook designed to make fourth-grade mathematics engaging, meaningful, and fun.

Created for homeschool families, co-ops, and creative learning environments, this interactive math workbook encourages children to think critically, investigate mathematical ideas, build confidence, and discover how numbers work in everyday life.

Instead of simply completing repetitive worksheets, students become mathematical detectives, builders, problem-solvers, inventors, and explorers!

Meet Remy the Remainder!

Remy is an enthusiastic little raccoon who loves mathematics almost as much as he loves snacks. Unfortunately, his mathematical reasoning occasionally gets a little tangled!

Each week, Remy sends students a letter describing his latest mathematical adventure. Hidden inside every letter is one mathematical mistake.

Can your learner find it?

Through the popular Remy's Mix-Up activities, students investigate errors, explain mathematical concepts, and write friendly letters helping Remy understand what went wrong.

These playful challenges encourage independent thinking, mathematical communication, and the confidence to recognize and correct mistakes.

2. The Big Add-venture: Multi-digit addition, subtraction, regrouping, and word problems.

3. Factor Factory: Multiplication relationships, factors, multiples, and prime numbers.

4. Multiplication Mansion: Mental math, multiplication strategies, and multi-digit multiplication.

5. Division Junction: Division, remainders, and long division.

6. Pattern Detectives: Number patterns, mathematical rules, and problem-solving.

7. Fraction Friends: Equivalent fractions and comparing fractions.

8. Fraction Kitchen: Fraction addition, subtraction, and mixed numbers.

9. Fraction Factory Floor: Multiplying fractions by whole numbers, measurement, and line plots.

10. Decimal Diner: Tenths, hundredths, decimal notation, and comparisons.

11. Measure Up: Measurement, money, time, area, perimeter, and conversions.

12. Angle Adventures: Geometry, angles, symmetry, and mathematical celebrations.

Discover. Build. Play. Create. Practice.

Each weekly lesson follows a consistent, engaging learning structure.

Discover: Investigate Remy's latest mathematical mistake and explore a new concept through hands-on activities.

Build: Develop understanding through mathematical vocabulary, guided examples, notes, and practice.

Play: Reinforce mathematical skills with interactive games, strategy challenges, and creative activities.

Create & Talk: Apply mathematical understanding through projects, drawings, written reflections, and meaningful discussions.

Practice: Strengthen mastery through skill-building exercises, word problems, challenges, and spiral review.

A daily Fact Fuel routine helps students build fluency while tracking their own progress and celebrating personal improvement.

Bring Mathematics Into the Real World!

Throughout the course, students use their mathematical knowledge to explore creative, practical challenges.

One of the highlights is the ongoing Treehouse File, where learners imagine and design a dream treehouse. As their mathematical knowledge grows, they revisit their plans to explore costs, measurements, fractions, decimals, and geometric designs.

The workbook also supports a Midyear Math Fair and a culminating Count Me In! Math Carnival, giving students opportunities to celebrate and demonstrate what they have learned.

These experiences help children understand that mathematics exists far beyond the pages of a textbook.

Why Families Love Hands-On Math

Count Me In! encourages students to become active participants in their education rather than passive recipients of information.

Through hands-on exploration, creative projects, mathematical discussions, and purposeful practice, learners develop:

• Mathematical confidence and independence

• Stronger number sense and computational fluency

• Critical thinking and logical reasoning

• Creative problem-solving abilities

• Mathematical communication skills

• Real-world applications of math

• Persistence, curiosity, and a willingness to learn from mistakes

The workbook provides opportunities for learners to work at their own pace while developing a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts.
