Mathematics
This year our whole group math lessons, small groups, and independent practice will fully adopt the EngageNY/Eureka Math curriculum which is aligned to the Common Core State Standards. This curriculum is also designed to develop number sense, problem solving, and fluency skills across many different topics. Major focus areas will include multiplication and division skills, identifying and comparing fractions, interpreting and producing graphs, and solving multi-step word problems. Other topics we will cover include measuring time intervals to the minute, determining area and perimeter, multi-digit addition and subtraction, and fact fluency across all 4 operations. We expect that by the end of 4th grade students will have memorized their basic multiplication facts (0's-10's) and become fluent with the majority of the corresponding division facts. Consistent practice at home will be important in order for students to achieve this goal. Try traditional flashcards, or log in to one of the online programs available on the Classroom Links page to find a strategy that works for your child!

Current Math Focus-Multi-Digit Place Value
We will begin the year by exploring place value with numbers into the millions. Students will learn to read, name, and compare the value of numbers up to 7 digits as well as describing the value of each place value digit. We will use these skills to round numbers to any place value digit. At the end of the unit we will review addition and subtraction strategies with regrouping for numbers into the hundred thousands. Finally, we will use multi-digit addition, subtraction, and rounding to solve real world word problems.
Common Core Standards
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NBT.A.1
Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right. For example, recognize that 700 ÷ 70 = 10 by applying concepts of place value and division.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NBT.A.2
Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form. Compare two multi-digit numbers based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NBT.A.3
Use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place.
Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.NBT.B.4
Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
