The School District of Beloit selected a high-quality math curriculum aligned to WI state standards that incorporates research-based instructional strategies to support all students in their mathematical learning. The goal of the math program is to prepare our students for their future, which could be very different from the world we live in today. As a result, we make an effort to establish a solid foundation in problem solving, conceptual comprehension, procedural fluency, and applying math to real-world situations. At all grade-levels, lessons build on a student’s prior math knowledge to help prepare them for future math learning.
4th Grade Math Units
-
Unit 1 - Place Value Concepts for Addition and Subtraction
Students use multiplicative comparisons to describe place value relationships and the relative sizes of metric units. They build fluency with the standard algorithm for addition and subtraction with numbers of up to 6 digits.
-
Unit 2 - Place Value Concepts for Multiplication and Division
Students multiply two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers by using the distributive property. They divide two- and three-digit numbers by one-digit numbers by using the break apart and distribute strategy. Students apply their multiplication skills to convert customary units of length. They also identify factors and multiples of numbers within 100.
-
Unit 3 - Mulitplication and Division of Multi-Digit Numbers
Students multiply numbers of up to four digits by one-digit numbers and two-digit numbers by two-digit numbers. Students also divide numbers of up to four digits by one-digit numbers, resulting in whole-number quotients and remainders.
-
Unit 4 - Foundations for Fractions Operations
Students rename fractions greater than 1 as mixed numbers, generate equivalent fractions, compare fractions with unlike units, and add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with like units. Students also multiply fractions and mixed numbers by whole numbers.
-
Unit 5 - Place Value Concepts for Decimal Fractions
Students extend their understanding of tenths and hundredths as fractional units to recognizing tenths and hundredths as place value units. They compare decimal numbers and add mixed numbers and fractions with the unlike, but related, units of tenths and hundredths.
-
Unit 6 - Angle Measurements and Plane Figures
Students identify attributes of polygons including side length and the presence or absence of pairs of parallel sides, pairs of perpendicular sides, and angle types. They use protractors to measure and draw angles accurately. Students also identify and draw lines of symmetry.
By the end of 4th Grade, students will...
-
- use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems.
- gain familiarity with factors and multiples.
- generalize, use, and understand patterns and place value to perform multi-digit whole number operations.
- extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering.
- build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understandings of operations on whole numbers.
- understand decimal notation related to fractions, and compare decimals and fractions.
- solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit.
- represent and interpret data.
- understand concepts related to angle composition and measure angles.
- draw and identify lines and angles, and classify shapes by properties of their lines and angles.
