MATHEMATICS

Number and Number Sense

4.1 The Student will

a. identify the place value for each digit in a whole number expressed through the millions;

b. Compare two whole numbers expressed through millions using symbols and words; and

c. Round whole numbers expressed through millions to the nearest thousand, ten thousand and hundred thousand.

4.2 The Student will

b/c. Represent equivalent fractions and relate fractions to decimals, using concrete objects.

4.3 The student will compare the numerical value of fractions having denominators of 12 or less, using concrete materials.

Computation and Estimation

4.5) The Student will estimate whole number sums and differences and describe the method of estimation.

4.7) The Student will find the product of two whole numbers when one factor has 2 digits or fewer and the other factor has 3 digits or fewer.

4.8) The student will estimate and find the quotient of 2 whole numbers, given a 1 digit divisor.

4.9) The student will add and subtract fractions having like and unlike denominators of 12 or less using concrete materials.

Measurement

4.10/4.11/4.12) The Student will estimate and measure weight/mass, length, liquid volume, and perimeter using actual U.S Customary and Metric units of measurement; identify equivalent measurements within the U.S. Customary System and Metric System; and estimate the conversion from one measurement system to the other using approximate comparisons.

Geometry

4.14/4.15) The student will describe, identify, and draw representations of points, lines, and rays using straight edged ruler.

4.22) The student will identify and draw representations of lines that illustrate

intersection, parallelism, and perpendicularity.

Probability and Statistics

a. predict the likelihood of outcomes of a simple event, using the terms certain, likely, unlikely, and impossible.

4.20) The student will collect, organize, and display data in line and bar graphs with scale increments of one or greater than one and use the display to interpret the result, draw conclusions, and make predictions.

Patterns, Functions, and Algebra

4.21) The student will recognize, create, and extend numerical and geometric patterns, using concrete materials, number lines, symbols, tables, and words.
