Overview Continued
Fourth
grade quarter
2 mathematics focuses on basic facts and computation with larger numbers, problem
solving strategies, geometry, and perimeter and area.
As fourth graders you will experience math problems involving real world
situations, basic facts review through 12, perimeter and area of squares
and rectangles, and develop problem-solving strategies. You will
understand the importance of place value in computation with larger
numbers, expand strategies for
problem solving, and experience geometry that includes the difference between perimeter
and area. You will continue to deepen your understanding of the
use and importance of mathematics in the world around us.
Quarter 3 of fourth grade focuses on fractions, patterns, prediction
with probability, problem solving strategies, place value in decimals, and
computation. You will experience math problems involving
real world situations; fractional parts of regions, collections of
objects, and wholes using manipulatives and/or visual representations;
recognize and extend more complex patterns; predict outcomes using
coins, spinners, and cubes; identify place values to hundredths in
decimals; and choose appropriate
problem-solving strategies.
In quarter 4 of fourth grade mathematics, you will explore
place value in decimals to the hundredths place; identify and compare
fractional parts of a collection of objects; recognize, complete, and
continue number and shape patterns; use a ruler to measure distance; and
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.
