Enduring Understandings
are important ideas that students should carry with them years beyond the
instruction received this year.
Essential Questions
are most important “big picture” questions students should be able to answer
after completing learning activities.
-
Why is it important to understand probability?
-
How does prediction help us determine reasonable
answers?
-
Why is the vocabulary of probability important? (most
likely, least likely, equally likely, certain, impossible, outcomes)
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 1: Number Sense
- May
Identify place value in
decimals to hundredths
Identify and compare
fractional parts of a collection of objects.
 Identify place value to
millions.
Give equivalent names for
numbers, expanded notation to one million.
Standard 2: Patterns and
Algebra - May
 Complete patterns of
shapes and numbers (5th grade CSAP test item).
Recognize and continue a
geometric pattern (5th grade CSAP test item).
Use Function/Rate tables
to observe and explain how a change in one quantity can produce a change in
another (e.g. the relationship between the number of bicycles and the number
of wheels).
Use, explain, and
demonstrate an understanding of the four basic operations in real world,
problem-solving situations.
Standard 3: Data and
Graphs - May
Predict, determine and
support which outcomes are most likely, least likely or equally likely from
flipping a coin, spinning a spinner with 4 congruent sectors, and rolling a
number cube.
Standard 4: Geometry -
May
Identify lines of
symmetry, lines of reflection, reflected figures and figures with line
symmetry.
Recognize geometric shapes
and concepts in other curricula.
Standard 5: Measurement
- May
Use a ruler to measure
distance (5th grade CSAP test item).
Determine the appropriate
unit of measure (metric and US customary) when estimating distance,
capacity, and weight.
Standard 6: Computation
- May
Use, explain, draw a
bi-linguistic representation and demonstrate the understanding of the 4
basic operations.
Determine from a
real-world problem when an estimate or exact sum, difference, product or
quotient is acceptable.
Review computation of
whole numbers without context (addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division) (5th grade standard and CSAP test item).

Parents
Consider supporting your fourth grader in fourth quarter mathematics using
the following no-cost, high fun activities. Use money to help them
understand the hundredths place in decimals. ($.25 is 25 out of a hundred
pennies or a dollar) Next time you bake or buy a dozen cookies or doughnuts,
point out a fractional part of the whole dozen. (1/3 of a dozen = 4; 1/4 of
a dozen = 3; 1/2 of a dozen = 6; 1/6 of a dozen = 2) Start patterns with
geometric shapes or numbers and ask your child to continue the pattern. Take
turns creating and continuing the patterns. Have your child measure lengths
for a household project using a ruler, yardstick, or tape measure. Help
them know where to start and how to read the measurement. Explain what 5/8
of an inch means and where it is on the measuring tool. Play games that use
spinners, dice, or flipping a coin and have your child predict the outcome.
A ruler from WalMart: $.49. A dozen doughnuts: $3.99. Helping your child
understand math in a fun and practical way: Priceless!
