4th Grade Math Word Problems Multiplication Division Fractions 2 Step

Do your students struggle with solving word problems? This Fourth Grade Math Journal will help your students to become better at solving word problems, while also writing to explain their mathematical thinking. This math journal is so much more than a collection of word problems. The journal prompts ask students to defend their answers, using the MESS method

Model

Equation

Solve

Sentence

Students are asked to draw a picture, write the equation, solve the problem, and then write a sentence answering the problem. Writing about their math thinking will help students to prepare for standardized testing and show a true understanding of the math concepts rather than just test if the student gets the right answer.

This Fourth Grade Math Journal contains (4) different prompts for each of the fourth grade math common core standards for a total of 128 different fourth grade math journal prompts.
