What Parents Can Do

• Check homework nightly
• Go over the work by checking that the answers are
  correct and problems are worked out correctly by
  the directions
• Practice multiplication and division facts
• Help your child study key reference pages in
  textbook
• Table of Measures page 656
• Rays and Angles page 408
• Quadrilaterals other Polygons pages 412-413
• Transformations page 434

What Else Can Parents Do?

• Allow time for real opportunities to learn
• Grocery store
• Weighing produce
• Counting money
• Comparing best buys
• Multiplying costs of more than one item

More.

• Log on to Department of Public Instruction (DPI)
  for sample problems work these with your child
  before the test
• http//www.ncpublicschools.org/accountability/pare
  nts/
• Allow your child computer time at home to go to
  websites to practice math
• www.studyisland.com
• www.aaamath.com

19
And More.

• Discuss the importance of EOG tests, especially
  in fourth grade.
• There is no retest.
• There is no summer school.

One Final Word

• EOG tests have a great deal of weight however,
  they are NOT to replace the everyday progress of
  a child.
• Students should not have any undue stress during
  testing time.
• Students should eat, sleep, play, and relax as
  much as possible during EOG testing week.
