Grade 4: November Unit
Perimeter, Area, and Strategy
(@ 15 days)

Overview
View the Video Introduction. (Introduction: Area and Perimeter) November focuses on critical math skills and includes lessons on estimation, mental math, and computation with different strategies, area and perimeter with common geometric shapes, computational review with multiplication facts through 12, and problem solving using all operations. You will gain a deeper understanding of computation the value of estimation in the reasonableness of answers. These foundational concepts allow you to become confident in intermediate level elementary school mathematics. The mathematical connections between concepts will continue to be explored.

Enduring Understandings
are important ideas that students should carry with them years beyond the instruction received this year.

  •  Mathematics is dependent on place value.

  • A sense of number is necessary to communicate the reasoning used in problem solving.

Essential Questions are the most important “big picture” questions students should be able to answer after completing learning activities.

  • In what ways does number sense, including estimations and mental math, help solve real-world problems?

  • In what ways can I communicate the reasoning used in problem solving situations? 

  • What makes for a quality solution?

  • What essential components are needed to solve real-world problems?

  • How do perimeter and area relate to addition and multiplication?

CSAP Tested Standards  Highest Frequency High Frequency Other Standards and E-Skills

Highest Frequency = the timing, intensity and level of accountability is extremely high because mastery of these skills will must be demonstrated in multiple test items on CSAP at this grade level.
High Frequency = the timing, intensity and level of accountability is high because mastery of these skills will be tested at this grade level.
Other Standards and E-Skills = the timing, intensity, and level of mastery are not urgent. It should be introduced during this time so students can experience the concept and return in future quarters to strive towards mastery.

Standard 3: Data and Graphs - November

Using statistical landmarks construct tables, line plots, bar graphs and pictographs.

Standard 6: Computation - November

Choose and apply a strategy to solve mathematical and real world problems.

Demonstrate ability to borrow and carry (trade) in multi-digit addition and subtraction problems.

Estimate solutions involving the four basic operations (i.e., estimation by rounding, front-end estimation, friendly numbers, compatible numbers, flexible rounding, clustering).

Solve basic multiplication facts through 12.

Using paper and pencil, demonstrate basic operations of whole numbers including addition

Parents
You can support your fourth grader’s mathematics learning in quarter 2 by orally reviewing basic facts through 12. Help your child practice adding and subtracting with larger numbers. Talk about the difference between perimeter (the distance around: sides added together) and area (surface: length times width). Create a real world problem in multiplication by asking your child to find the perimeter and the area of a sandbox or other shape. Do it together and have your child explain his/her thinking to you. These activities cost nothing but gain much in the practical use of mathematics in daily life.
