GRADE 4: EXPLANATION OF STANDARDS
MATHEMATICS – The student will…
Problem Solving and Reasoning
•
use appropriate and efficient strategies to solve problems
•
explain and justify solution strategy leading to a correct answer
•
use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas
Number Sense: Whole Numbers
•
understand and use numbers through millions, recognizing the relationship between the values of each
digit/number
•
identify, read, write, compare, and round whole numbers through millions
Number Sense: Fractions/Decimals
•
identify, model, compare rational numbers (fractions and mixed numbers)
•
represent equivalent fractions, compare fractions, and relate fractions to decimals
•
read, write, identify, represent and round decimals through thousandths
Computation and Estimation
•
estimate and solve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems
•
add and subtract fractions (e.g., 3/4+ 1/8) and decimals through thousandths
•
use addition and subtraction to solve problems with fractions and decimals
Measurement
•
estimate and measure length, weight, and volume in customary and metric units
•
identify equivalent measurements between units within customary and between units within metric (length,
weight, volume)
•
estimate the conversion of customary units to metric units (ballpark comparisons for length, weight, and
volume)
•
identify, describe, and differentiate situations representing the use of perimeter and area
Geometry
•
analyze and compares properties (e.g. sides) of 2-D (circle, triangle) and (e.g. faces) of 3-D geometric figures
(e.g. cylinder, cone)
•
identify, describe relationships and draw representations of points, lines, line segments, rays, intersections,
parallelism, and perpendicularity
•
identify and describe congruent shapes including geometric transformations of reflection, rotation, and
translation
Statistics and Probability
•
predict likelihood of outcomes of a simple event and determines probability of a given simple event
•
read, construct, interpret, draw conclusions, and make predictions using display of data
Patterns, Functions & Algebra
•
recognize, create, and extend numerical and geometric patterns to describe relationships
•
recognize and demonstrate understanding of the meaning of equality (e.g., 15 + 35 = 32 + 18)
