GRADE 4 MATHEMATICS LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the end of the second quarter, fourth grade students should be able to:

Operations and Algebraic Thinking

1.Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems by:

  • Interpreting multiplication equations as comparisons.
  • Multiplying or dividing to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparisons.
  • Solving multi-step word problems
  • Identifying the missing symbols in number sentences.

2.Gain familiarity with factors and multiples by: N/A

3.Generate and analyze patterns by: N/A

Number and Operations in Base Ten

1.Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers by:

  • Demonstrating an understanding of place value in whole numbers through 1,000,000 .
  • Reading and writing whole numbers in expanded, standard and word form through 1,000,000.
  • Comparing two multi-digit numbers through 1,000,000 based on digit value.
  • Round multi-digit whole numbers (through 1,000,000) to any place.

2. Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-

digit arithmetic by:

  • Adding and subtracting multi-digit whole numbers.
  • Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by one-digit and multiply 2 two-digit numbers.
  • Estimating the answer to addition and subtraction problems using whole numbers through six digits.

Number and Operations - Fractions

  1. Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering by:
  • Recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
  • Compare two fractions with different numerators and denominators.

2.Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous

understanding of operations on whole numbers by: N/A

  1. Understand decimal notation for fractions, and compare decimal fractions by:
  • Compare two decimals to hundredths using symbols <, >, or =.
  • Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100.

Measurement and Data

  1. Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a

larger unit to a smaller unit by:

  • Knowing relative sizes of measurement units within one system.
  • Using the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time: expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit.
  • Applying the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in real-world problems.

2.Represent and interpret data by: N/A

3. Geometric measurement: understand concepts of angle; measure and create angles by:

N/A

Geometry

  1. Draw and identify lines and angles, and classify shapes by properties of their lines

and angles by:

  • Drawing points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), perpendicular and parallel lines and identifying these in two-dimensional figures.
  • Classifying two-dimensional figures based on their properties.
  • Recognizing and drawing lines of symmetry in two-dimensional figures.
