Math Journal entries offer students the means to work through their thinking, deepen their understanding, and show you what they really know and understand. These are an essential tool for Formative Assessment. These journal prompts cover all of the 4th grade Place value TEKS: 4.2A, 4.2B, 4.2C, 4.2D, 4.2E, 4.2F, 4.2G, & 4.2H.

I absolutely love using math journals in my classroom! They are the perfect way to engage students in deep thinking and assess their understanding.

This is a TEKS centered resource. While others may be “TEKS-aligned,” they often cover Common Core standards as well. My Texas specific resources cover the TEKS and nothing but the TEKS, so that teachers don’t have to spend additional time sorting through what to use and what not to use. I know how precious each and every school day is; there is no time to waste. As with all of my resources, it is designed with STAAR in mind.

Included are 10 Journal Prompts that cover the following topics:

*10x Greater Place Value Relationships*

*1/10th the Value Relationships*

*Expanded Notation*

*Comparing Whole Numbers*

*Rounding*

*Comparing Decimals*

*Equivalent Decimals*

*Decimal Representations*

*Decimal Models*

*Decimals to Fractions*

*Decimals on Number Lines*

Some prompts combine more than one topic.
