4th Grade Math Problem Solving

Mrs. Vu introduces the 4th grade online learning calendar for the week of April 13th. She focuses on a word problem involving a carpenter's board, demonstrating how to solve it using a strip diagram and conversion of feet to inches. The lesson includes creating a T-chart for conversion and offers two methods to find the solution: direct calculation and using a strip diagram. The video emphasizes understanding unit conversion and visual problem-solving techniques.
