FAQ
Is this unit updated?
- The changes to the 2022 curriculum for this grade 4 strand took a lot of specific language out of the curriculum and have yet to clarify the parameters of what is learned at this grade compared to that of grades 2, 3 and 8. While the learning from the previous version of the curriculum (2007) still satisfies the current (2022) curriculum, we intend to expand our unit on pulleys and gears to meet the more general standards. These updates are pending clarification and all updates are added to this package free of charge.
Why should I buy from Madly Learning?
- If you are the type of teacher that wants engaging lessons for your classroom and seeks to do more than just simply cover the curriculum. You don't want basic lessons but also don't have the time to make the lessons and activities you want in the time you have. If you are a teacher that actually wants to teach so that students actually 'get it' and love learning in theprocess then you are in the right place. Madly Learning believes that every student deserves high-quality lessons that are simple and easy to implement for teachers.
