Grade 4: December
Unit
Reasonableness of Answers
(@ 15 days) |
|
Overview
View the
video introduction.
December 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. Can a monkey do
mental math? Watch this
Amazing Video and see.

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?
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 - December
 Compare
large numbers and order 0 – 99,999.
Use estimation strategies to determine reasonable answers in addition.
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).
Standard 2: Patterns and Algebra - December
Determine
a missing element in a pattern that uses pictures, geometric shapes or
numbers.
Identify
a rule using addition, subtraction, or multiplication and solve a
problem using the rule (i.e., function boxes, input/.output boxes,
T-charts).
Describe patterns and other relationships using tables and graphs.
Standard 3: Data and Graphs - December
Find
the median, the mode, the smallest and the largest element in a set of
data.
Using statistical data landmarks, draw conclusions and make
interpretations from a given data display.
Standard 4: Geometry - December
 Solve
problems involving the perimeter and area of triangles and squares.
Find
perimeter and area of squares and rectangles on a grid.
Name and locate points specified by ordered number pairs on a coordinate
grid.
Make turns, add fractions of turn; relate turns and angles.
Standard 5: Measurement - December
Determine
the area of squares and rectangles on a grid.
Draw and measure line segments to the nearest ½ inch and/or centimeter.
Measure and determine perimeter of polygons to the nearest ½ inch and
centimeter.
Standard 6: Computation - December
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.
Solve basic multiplication facts through 12.
Using paper and pencil, demonstrate basic operations of whole numbers
including addition and subtraction.

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.
