Today’s Agenda
What fourth graders need to know
What fourth graders will be doing
What you can do to help your fourth grader
What Fourth GradersNeed to Know
Number, Operations, & Algebraic Thinking
Generalize place value understanding for whole numbers
Add and subtract within 1,000,000
Multiply and divide whole numbers Multiplication: up to 4-digit by 1-digit, and 2-digit by 2 digit numbers
Division: up to 4-digit dividends and 1-digit divisors
Solve multi-step word problems involving the four operations
Number & Operations – Fractions Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering
using visual fraction models
Compare fractions with different numerators and different denominators
Add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with like
denominators (e.g., 2
8+ 5
8= 7
8)
Multiply fractions by whole numbers (e.g., 5 x 1
4= 5
4)
Understand decimal notation for fractions (tenths and hundredths)
Geometry
Understand concepts of angle and measure angles
Draw and identify points, lines, line segments, rays, angles, and perpendicular and parallel lines
Classify 2-dimensional shapes
Recognize and draw lines of symmetry
Game #1: Connect 4
How to Play Where’s the Math?• Begin by randomly placing the two paperclips
on any two numbers on the number strip.For each round:• Select the number you wish to capture.• Move one of the paperclips on the number
strip to capture the desired number.• Cover the captured product on the game
board with your counter.• Continue until one player has connected 4
squares horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
• Automaticity with multiplication facts
• Missing factor problems
• Relationship between multiplication and division
• Strategy & planning• Perseverance

Find x, y, and z
Geometry – Shapes and Symmetry
• Identify and classify triangles
• Identify and classify quadrilaterals
• Identify and draw symmetrical shapes

Comparing Fractions• Compare fractions with a different numerator but the same
denominator; e.g., 1/8 is smaller than 3/8, because 1 of a certain unit must be smaller than 3 of that same unit
• Compare fractions with the same numerator but a differentdenominator; e.g., 3/8 is smaller than 3/5 because splitting the same whole into eight equal parts would yield smaller parts

Game #2: Capture Fractions
How to Play Where’s the Math?• Divide the deck into equal-sized piles, one
for each player.• In each round, each player turns over the
top card in his/her pile. The players then figure out which fraction is larger. They may use fractions strips, a number line, or a verbal explanation to prove their thinking.
• The player with the larger fraction puts both cards at the bottom of his/her pile.
• The person with the most cards wins.
• Fractions as numbers• Equivalent fractions• Comparing fractions• Fraction on a number

Memorization
Committing the results of operations to memory so that thinking is unnecessary
Isolated problems practiced one after another
Emphasis is on answer recall
Automaticity
Relies on thinking about relationships among facts
Answer produced within a few seconds
Eventually leads to memorization, but with much more meaning
What is Automaticity?
Adapted from: Twomey Fosnot, Catherine & Dolk, Maarten (2001). Young Mathematicians at Work: Constructing Number Sense, Addition, and Subtraction. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann.
What is Automaticity?
9 x 3
I know 10 x 3 is 30, so 9 x 3 must be 3 less
than 30... 27!9 x 3
10 x 3
What is Automaticity?
9 x 3
I know 5 x 3 is 15, and 4 x 3 is 12, so 9 x 3 is
15 plus 12… 27!9 x 3
5 x 3
4 x 3
What You Can Do to Help
Your Fourth Grader
Things You Can Do at Home
Find the math in ordinary activities (cooking, gardening, shopping, home design)
Ask questions strategically Can you tell me how you know that? Can you prove your thinking to me? Is there another way to solve that
problem?
Play board and card games Play some of our school games…
Game #3: Decimals In Between
How to Play Where’s the Math?• Place the cards labeled 0, ½, and 1 on the
table, with space in between each.• Deal 6 decimal cards to each player.• Players take turns placing a card so that it
touches another card in one of these ways:--to the right of 0 --on either side of ½ --to the left of 1 --on top of any equivalent
• Cards must be placed in increasing order, from left to right. A card may not be placed between two cards that are touching.
• Decimal notation• Place value to the
hundredths place• Fraction/decimal
