For $69.99 you get ten resources, including Fractions with Visual Models, Area & Perimeter, Grade 4 math warm-ups and the English Made Easy parent guide.

The real problem
What changed for Detroit families in 2026–27
DPSCD started the 2026–27 school year on August 24, 2026, and for some fourth graders it began in a different building. Several of the district's elementary-middle schools closed in June 2026, and Thurgood Marshall Elementary-Middle School is set to close after this year under an accelerated phase-out plan. A move like that can leave gaps: a new teacher, a different pace, a fractions lesson missed or taught twice. Short, steady practice at home helps close them. Fourth grade also asks more in math, with fractions and area and perimeter arriving alongside multi-step word problems, while writing assignments get longer. Homeschooling families in Michigan carry a light paperwork load. Home education needs no notice to the state or district and no curriculum submitted to MDE, but parents must teach reading, spelling, mathematics, science, history, civics, literature, writing and English grammar. Records are the family's own job, and standardized testing is optional through the local public school. For a homeschool parent the real questions are coverage and record keeping, not approval.
Why it fits
Where the bundle fits a fourth grader's week
The resources are short enough for weeknights and complete enough for homeschool lessons. These are the strongest matches.
- Fractions with Visual Models teaches equal parts, numerator and denominator and comparing with pictures a parent can follow.
- Area & Perimeter uses unit squares, formulas, compound shapes and garden problems, with answer keys included.
- Grade 4 math warm-ups give a short, predictable start that rebuilds routine after a school change.
- The Grade 4 Grammar Pack covers sentence structure, tenses and punctuation for longer written work.
- Phonics & Word Study and the vocabulary trainer support spelling and grammar, two subjects on Michigan's list.
- Completed, dated pages give homeschool parents simple records, since Michigan leaves record keeping to families.
Getting started
One way to spread it across a fall semester
A suggested order for after-school use or homeschool mornings. Stay longer on whatever your child finds hard.
- September: warm-ups and place valueStart with the place value to decimals pack, Math Adventure Grade 4, and one warm-up worksheet a day. It shows quickly where your child is solid and where last year's gaps sit.
- October: Fractions with Visual ModelsWork through equal parts, numerator and denominator, and comparing fractions. Draw the visual models together before your child tries a worksheet alone, then check with the answer key.
- November: Area & PerimeterUse the unit squares and garden problems. Measuring a real table or room at home makes the formulas stick, and the compound shapes give harder practice afterwards.
- Every week: grammar and writingTwo short grammar pages and one writing prompt a week build toward longer assignments. The prompts come with word banks and support tools for children who stall at a blank page.
- In between: reading and word studyRead The Mystery of the Missing Map in parts, add phonics and word study pages, and turn to English Made Easy whenever you are unsure how to explain a rule.
What to buy
The full Grade 4 bundle or a narrower choice
Start with the 4th Grade Practice Bundle at $69.99; the ten parts cost $117.90 bought separately. A family that only wants literacy can buy the Grade 4 ELA Pack for $13.99. The Elementary Math Units Bundle ($69.99) is a poor add-on here, because Fractions and Area & Perimeter are already in the Grade 4 bundle; it suits a child who needs Numbers to 1000 or the math test prep toolkit. For spring state test review, the Grades 3–5 Test Prep Bundle ($64.99) is the better match.
Honest limits
What the bundle leaves to you
Nothing here is written for Michigan. The bundle has no Michigan standards codes, no Grade 4 U.S. Studies and no Michigan history, and DPSCD has not reviewed it. Homeschool families still need science, history, civics and literature, and should confirm current law with the state or a homeschool legal resource. You print the pages and keep your own records. Tutors working with several children should send Teach Lessons a short message first. If the level is wrong, exchange it within 7 days for store credit of equal value; there are no cash refunds.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Does this bundle follow Michigan's Grade 4 standards?
No. It is not aligned to or approved under the Michigan K-12 standards, and DPSCD has not endorsed it. It is general Grade 4 English and math practice. If your child attends a DPSCD school, ask the teacher which topics are coming up; if you homeschool, compare it with the Michigan standards yourself.
Do I have to register as a homeschool in Michigan to use it?
Anyone can buy and use it. Under Michigan's home education option, families do not notify the state or district or submit curriculum to MDE, and registration is optional unless your child receives public school services. Laws change, so confirm the current rules with the state or a homeschool legal resource before you start.
Is it enough to cover Michigan's required homeschool subjects?
No. It helps with reading, spelling, mathematics, writing and English grammar. Michigan's list also includes science, history, civics and literature, and one reading story does not make a literature course. Plan separate material for those four subjects and keep notes on what you taught. Michigan does not check this, but your own records should show it.
My child is behind after a school change. Is Grade 4 the right level?
Check the parts before deciding. If place value and basic operations are shaky, the 3rd Grade Practice Bundle may be a better starting point. If the Grade 4 bundle proves too hard or too easy, an exchange within 7 days for store credit of equal value is possible.
Do we need a tablet or a printer?
A printer is the simplest way to use it, since the materials are printable worksheets. No app, account or device is part of the bundle. You can also open a file on a screen and have your child write the answers in a notebook. Paper copies also make it easy to keep finished work.
Can I share the bundle with my child's tutor?
The licence covers your own teaching at home. If a tutor wants to use it with other students as well, they need their own copy or should send Teach Lessons a short message first. Please do not post the files online or in parent groups.
