Grade 4 Mathematics: Place Value, Operations, and Fractions · Place Value to One Million

Place value of a digit within a number up to 1,000,000

Every digit in a number has a job. Its job depends on where it sits. In 458,201 the 5 sits in the ten-thousands spot.

Worked example

What is the value of the 6 in 4,672,193?

The value of a digit is the digit times its place, not the digit alone.

Your child would answer

What is the value of the 7 in 3,721?

  • D7,000

This week in Bible

Kindergarten · In the BeginningUnit 1 · Week 1

God made everything

Before anything at all, there was God. No sky, no ground, no light, nothing. God spoke, and there was light. He spoke again and there was sky, then dry land and seas.

He filled the world up: plants and trees, the sun and moon and stars, fish in the water, birds in the air, and every animal on the ground. Each time God finished something he looked at it and said it was good.

Learn by heart

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Genesis 1:1
Ask your child
  1. What is your favorite thing God made?
  2. What do you think it sounded like when God said "let there be light"?
  3. Look out the window. Name three things out there that God made.
Real course content. Read it aloud together, then your child talks it through with Clara, and that finishes the lesson.See the whole Kindergarten year →

A Bible course every year

Scripture is not an elective here. Every grade carries a full Bible course alongside math, reading, science and history, and the thirteen years read the whole Bible in order, Genesis to Revelation, then doctrine, church history, worldview and ethics. Read the whole K-12 Bible plan, course by course →

King James throughout, nondenominational where Christians differ, six-day creation, and you choose what else is taught. How our Christian curriculum approaches Scripture, science and denominational differences →

What parents ask

Will colleges accept this?+

Letters & Devotion produces a printable transcript on Letters & Devotion letterhead with grades derived from mastery, not assigned by you, plus hours logged per course against the standard 120, 180-hour credit convention. That arithmetic is what an admissions office wants to see, and it is the honest answer to the objection every homeschool family eventually faces: "the parent gave the grades."

Are you accredited?+

No, and almost no homeschool curriculum is, accreditation applies to schools, and in most states your homeschool is the school. What matters for records is documentation, which is exactly what the transcript and hours report are for. Anyone claiming their curriculum is "accredited" is usually selling you an umbrella school, which is a different product.

Is it secular or faith-based?+

Christian, with a full Bible course every year from kindergarten through twelfth grade, and six-day creation taught as Genesis says. The sciences stay standards-aligned to NGSS and maths and English to Common Core. Whether evolution is taught alongside creation, and whether sex education is included, is your choice at signup, changeable any time. It is nondenominational: where Christians genuinely differ elsewhere, the course names the positions instead of choosing one for your family.

What if my child is behind, or ahead?+

Grade level is the starting label, not the ceiling or the floor. Every module is mastery-paced: proving a skill early unlocks the next one the same day, and struggling slows the course down automatically instead of marching on. A 9th grader working at a 7th-grade level in math and an 11th-grade level in reading is a completely normal Letters & Devotion student.

How much screen time is this?+

Roughly 30, 50 minutes per subject per day, and PE is deliberately off-screen, it hands you a weekly plan of what to actually go do. Clara teaches through conversation rather than video, so there is no autoplay and nothing designed to keep your kid watching.

Can I use ESA or school-choice funds?+

Not yet. No state education savings account or school-choice program can pay Letters & Devotion directly today, and we would rather say so than let you find out at checkout. Programs such as Arizona ESA require a vendor to register with the state and with ClassWallet, and we have not done that for this curriculum. Some families pay us directly and claim reimbursement from their program, which is between them and their program, so check its rules first. Note that most programs will not reimburse a subscription covering more than one child unless the receipt itemizes each of them, and ours is a household plan. Email us if you need documentation in a particular format.

What do I actually have to do as the parent?+

Add your child, then read the dashboard. Clara does the teaching, the questions grade themselves, hours log automatically and the transcript prints in one click. You are not preparing lessons or grading at the kitchen table at 10pm, the point is that you get to be the parent again.
