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

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 1: Number Sense - November
 Compare
large numbers and order 0 – 99,999.
 Use
and apply estimation strategies to determine reasonable answers when
computing.
Recognize
different combinations of currency and coins to $10.00.
Use number properties with any of the four basic operations
(commutative, associative, property of zero and one).
Plot decimals on a number line.
Standard 2: Patterns and Algebra - November
Determine
a missing element in a pattern that uses pictures, geometric shapes or
numbers.
Reproduce, create, extend and describe numerical/pictorial patterns
using a number line, a hundreds chart, or other chart to locate, label,
or count from any number by 2s, 3s, 5s, 10s, or 100s.
Display numbers in tables or graphs to show patterns (i.e., completing
an input/output box, T-chart or function box).
Standard 3: Data and Graphs - November
Using
statistical landmarks construct tables, line plots, bar graphs and
pictographs.
Use estimation strategies to determine reasonable answers based on
tables, line plots, bar graphs and pictographs.
Describe patterns and other relationships from a given data set.
Standard 4: Geometry - November
 Solve
problems involving the perimeter and area of triangles and squares.
Determine
the area of a rectangle and create rectangles of a given area.
Find
perimeter and area of squares and rectangles on a grid.
Name
and locate points specified by ordered number pairs on a coordinate
grid.
Standard 5: Measurement - November
Measure
and determine perimeter of polygons to the nearest ½ inch and
centimeter.
Compare
objects according to measurable attributes of length and area in US and
metric units.
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.
