Enduring Understandings
are important ideas that students should carry with them years beyond the
instruction received this year.
-
Numbers can be represented, ordered, and communicated in many different
forms.
-
A
sense of number is necessary to communicate the reasoning used in
problem solving.
-
Mathematics is a tool for communication.
-
Communicating mathematical reasoning helps justify solutions.
-
A
sense of number is necessary to solve problems.
-
Fractions and decimals are related.
-
Predicting outcomes is important in determining probability and
reasonableness of answer.
Essential Questions
are the
most important “big picture” questions students should be able to answer
after completing learning activities.
-
How
are fractions and decimals related? (same and different?)
-
How
do number values change depending on the place the digit is in?
-
In
what ways does number sense, including estimations, predictions, and
mental math, help solve real-world problems?
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 - February
 Identify
place value of decimals to hundredths.
Identify
and compare fractional parts of a collection of objects.
Identify
the whole for fractions using hands-on materials and/or visual
representations (base ten blocks, pictures, fraction strips).
Identify
fractional parts of regions (i.e., ½, ¼, 1/10, etc.)
 Show
division of whole numbers as not commutative (1 digit into 2 digits).
Standard 2: Patterns
and Algebra - February
 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 - February
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.
Define,
apply and interpret the concepts of probability to determine the outcomes.
Choose
and apply a strategy to solve mathematical and real world problems in
probability and statistics.
Given
pictures, describe all possible combinations of matching the elements of two
sets.
Standard 4: Geometry
- February
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 - February
Relate
units of measurement of length, area, volume, capacity, weight, and
temperature in US and metric units.
Choose
appropriate units of measure for length, area, volume, capacity, weight,
temperature, and/or time to solve problems.
Standard 6:
Computation - February
Using
money notation, add and subtract decimals in which sums and differences may
exceed $1.00.
Solve
multiplication of 2- or 3-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers.
Using
paper and pencil, demonstrate the four basic operations of whole numbers
including addition, subtraction, multiplication of 2- or 3-digit numbers by
a 1-digit number, and division of a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number.

Parents
You
can support your fourth grader’s mathematics learning in quarter 3 by
working with parts of wholes (fractions and decimals). The wholes can be
pizzas or other objects, and the important thing is to divide the whole into
equal parts. These parts can be added together to make more than one whole.
For example, cut pizzas or cookies into two pieces, or halves. Allow your
child to add up more than two halves to make more than one whole. Let them
talk to you about what they see and what it means. This activity will help
your child gain practical understanding of adding and subtracting fractions
with the same denominator, and why we find common denominators. Play games
with spinners or dice to help your child with predicting outcomes. It is in
talking about the game, the pizzas, and the cookies that your child will
solidify this learning. And you will have fun together, too!
