What will we study, learn and master in 4th grade?

    In this video, parents will learn about the mathematics concepts and skills that their students will learn in 4th grade. Parents will learn about the important role that mathematical practices play as students deepen their understanding of place value, deepen their understanding of multiplication and division, develop efficient number strategies to solve problems involving larger numbers, explore fractions and begin to investigate decimals, explore angle measurement and properties of geometric shapes, measure objects using standard units and further investigate data.

Mathematics Concepts

• Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems, including problems involving number and shape patterns, analyze solutions, and gain familiarity with factors and multiples.
• Develop an understanding of and fluency with multi-digit multiplication, and develop an understanding of dividing to find quotients involving multi-digit dividends, generalize place value understanding to multi-digit whole numbers.
• Develop an understanding of fraction equivalence, addition, and subtraction of fractions with like denominators, and multiplication of fractions by whole numbers.
• Develop an understanding of decimal notation of fractions, and compare decimal fractions.
• Use spatial reasoning to analyze and classify geometric figures based on their properties, such as having parallel sides, perpendicular sides, particular angle measures, and symmetry.
• Measure, estimate, and perform operations involving measurement in standard units.
• Represent and interpret data presented on line plots.
• Solve problems involving area and perimeter of rectangles.
