Math Long Range Plans

(Subject to change. When we begin each unit, a note will be written in each student's agenda.)

Curriculum Expectations

The following are highlights of student learning in Grade 4. They are provided to give teachers and parents a quick overview of the mathematical knowledge and skills that students are expected to acquire in each math strand (overall expectations).

Number: reading, representing comparing, ordering, composing, decomposing and rounding numbers to 10 000; represent fractions from halves to tenths; compare and order fractions; read, represent, compare, and order decimal tenths, adding and subtracting numbers in a variety of ways; multiplying two-digit whole numbers by one-digit whole numbers; dividing two- or three-digit whole numbers by one-digit whole numbers; solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division; use mental math strategies; recall and demonstrate multiplication facts (up to 10 × 10) and related division facts; use mental math strategies to multiply whole numbers by 10, 100, and 1000, divide whole numbers by 10;

Spatial Sense: identifying geometric properties of rectangles (number of right angles, parallel and perpendicular sides and lines of symmetry); identifying angles and classify them as right, straight, acute or obtuse; plot and read coordinates; describe and perform translations and reflections on a grid and predict the results of these transformations; solve problems involving elapsed time; measure area of rectangles using an array and use the formula for area of a rectangle to find the unknown measurement; use metric units, and choose appropriate units and tools to measure length, mass, and capacity; explain the relationships between grams and kilograms as metric units of mass, and between litres and millilitres as metric units of capacity, and use benchmarks for these units to estimate mass and capacity

Algebra: identify, describe, create and translate repeating and growing patterns using various representations, including tables of values and graphs; determine pattern rules and use them to extend patterns, make and justify predictions; identify and use symbols as variables in expressions and equations; solve equations that involve whole numbers up to 50; solve inequalities that involve addition and subtraction of whole numbers up to 20, and verify and graph the solutions; read and alter existing code, writing and executing code, including code that involves sequential, concurrent, repeating, and nested events; and describe how changes to the code affect the outcomes; solve problems and create computational representations of mathematical situations by writing and executing code, including code that involves sequential, concurrent, repeating, and nested events

Data: collect data from different primary and secondary sources; organize the data in frequency tables and stem-and-leaf plots; select from among a variety of graphs, including multiple-bar graphs, the type of graph best suited to represent various sets of data; display the data in the graphs with proper sources, titles, and labels, and appropriate scales; and justify their choice of graphs; represent data in an infographic; determine the mean and median; analyse different sets of data and draw conclusions; use mathematical language to describe the likelihood of events happening, represent this likelihood on a probability line, and use it to make predictions and informed decisions; make and test predictions about the likelihood that the mean, median, and mode(s) of a data set will be the same for data collected from different populations

Financial Literacy: identify various methods of payment; estimate and calculate costs and the amount of change needed using mental math; explain the concepts of spending, saving, earning, investing, and donating, and identify key factors to consider when making basic decisions related to each; describe some ways of determining whether something is reasonably priced and therefore a good purchase
