Frequently Asked Questions
What age is appropriate for Grade 4 in the Philippines?
Grade 4 students in the Philippines are typically 9-10 years old. This marks the beginning of intermediate elementary education, where academic content becomes more challenging and abstract thinking develops further.
What are the main subjects in Grade 4?
Grade 4 covers Mathematics (fractions, decimals, geometry), Science (human body systems, energy, earth science), English (reading comprehension, grammar, writing), and Filipino (advanced grammar, literature). Additional subjects include Araling Panlipunan, MAPEH, EPP, and Values Education.
How can I help my child understand fractions?
Use visual and hands-on methods: pizza slices for parts of a whole, measuring cups for cooking, ruler measurements. Compare fractions using number lines. Practice equivalent fractions by folding paper. Connect fractions to real-life situations like sharing equally or measuring ingredients.
What science topics does Grade 4 cover?
Grade 4 Science explores human body systems (digestive, circulatory, respiratory), animal and plant characteristics, properties of matter, heat and energy, forces and motion, and basic earth science including weather and natural phenomena.
How much homework should Grade 4 students have?
Grade 4 students typically need 40-50 minutes of homework daily. This should include reading (20 minutes), math practice, and subject-specific assignments. Break study time into focused sessions with short breaks to maintain concentration and prevent burnout.
What are the DepEd MELC standards for Grade 4?
DepEd MELC for Grade 4 emphasizes mastery of fractions and decimals, understanding human body systems, reading comprehension of longer texts, writing multi-paragraph compositions, and Filipino literary analysis. Critical thinking and research skills are increasingly important.
How can I improve my child's reading comprehension?
Read longer chapter books together, discuss characters and plot developments, ask prediction questions, teach summarization skills, practice identifying main ideas versus details, and introduce different text types (fiction, non-fiction, news articles). Use graphic organizers to visualize story elements.
What study habits should Grade 4 students develop?
Grade 4 students should develop time management skills, learn to organize notebooks and materials, practice taking notes, break large tasks into smaller steps, review lessons daily rather than cramming, and begin self-checking their work for errors before submission.
