4th Grade Mathematics

4th Grade Mathematics Description

Students learn comparison and place value of numbers through millions, rounding to one hundred thousands, comparison of fractions with denominators up to 12, identification of equivalent fractions, rounding of decimals to hundredths, use of calculators in estimation, simple division by one digit divisors, addition of fractions with unlike denominators, estimation and measurement of weights, lengths, and volumes, measurement of perimeter of geometric shapes, identification of rays, points, and segments, determination of parallel and perpendicular lines, and the use of rules (or functions) in solving problems. For instruction and learning, students will use both the 4th and 5th grade Math Connects Textbooks, Spiral Math review daily, fact practice, Accelerated Mathematics, and other supplemental materials for instruction.

Main Topics in 4th Grade Mathematics:

Number and Number Sense

  • Understand place value and use the concepts to round numbers
  • Compare numbers and use comparison symbols (<, >, =) appropriately
  • Model equivalent fractions and decimals

Computation and Estimation

  • Add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers
  • Add and subtract fractions and decimals
  • Develop understanding of multiples and factors

Measurement and Geometry

  • Estimate and measure weight/mass, length and liquid volume in U.S. Customary and metric units
  • Use U.S. Customary and metric equivalents between units
  • Identify and describe representations of plane figures and intersection, parallelism, and perpendicularity Investigate geometric transformations and congruence of transformed figures

Probability and Statistics

  • Represent probability as a number p, 0 ≤ p ≤ 1and predict the likelihood of an event
  • Collect, organize, display, and interpret data

Patterns, Functions, and Algebra

  • Identify and extend complex numerical and geometric patterns
  • Investigate properties of real numbers
  • Demonstrate the concept of equality in an equation
