FACT FLUENCY AT HOME
In our Place Value unit we expand on third grade learning of numbers to the millions. In fourth grade we work with numbers to the billions. New to fourth grade is also learning that there are decimal numbers (tenths and hundredths) and we relate those place values to money. We review expanded form and expanded notation from third grade.
In our multiplication and division unit students learn how to multiply 3 and 4 digit numbers by a 1 digit number (ex: 3,421 x 8) using a variety of methods (box method, partial products, standard algorithm). Students will also learn how to do long division (ex: 1,343 divided by 6) and they will learn how to multiply a 2 digit by 2 digit number (ex: 24 x 32).
In this unit, students will build a stronger understanding of fractions and how they connect to decimals. They will learn that fractions and decimals are just different ways to represent the same value (for example, ½ is the same as 0.5).
Students will use pictures, models, and hands-on tools to break fractions into smaller parts and show how a fraction can be made by adding fractions with the same denominator. They will also practice placing fractions on a number line to show their value and better understand how fractions compare to whole numbers and to each other.
By the end of the unit, students will have a deeper understanding of how fractions and decimals work and be able to represent them in multiple ways.

In this unit, students will learn more about shapes and angles they see every day. They will practice finding and drawing lines of symmetry in shapes and identifying different types of triangles, including acute, right, and obtuse triangles. Students will also learn how to sort and classify shapes based on their sides, angles, and whether their lines are parallel or perpendicular.
Students will explore how angles are part of a circle and learn how angles are measured using degrees. They will use a protractor to measure angles, draw angles with specific measurements, and find missing angle measurements. By the end of the unit, students will have a stronger understanding of geometry and be able to apply these skills to solve problems confidently.
Equivalent fractions practice
In this unit, students will strengthen their understanding of fractions and how they work. They will learn how to tell if two fractions are equal (even when they look different) and how to compare fractions using symbols like greater than, less than, and equal to.
Students will also practice adding and subtracting fractions that have the same denominator using visual models to help them understand what the math represents. To build strong number sense, they will use benchmark fractions; such as ½ and 0, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1, to estimate answers and decide if their solutions make sense. By the end of the unit, students will be more confident working with fractions and explaining their thinking.
Comparing fractions practice
In this unit, students will learn how measurement is used in real-life situations. They will identify common units of measurement for length, time, liquid volume, mass, and money, and understand when and why each unit is used.
Students will practice using tables and charts to convert between different measurement units, such as minutes to hours or centimeters to meters. They will also solve real-world problems involving measuring, estimating, and comparing amounts. By the end of the unit, students will be able to confidently use measurement skills to solve everyday math problems.
This unit is designed for fourth grade students to revisit the standards they have learned throughout the school year in order to apply their foundational understanding at the problem solving level.
In this unit, students will learn important life skills related to money and financial responsibility. They will explore the difference between fixed expenses (costs that stay the same, like a monthly bill) and variable expenses (costs that can change, like entertainment or snacks). Students will also learn how to calculate profit, helping them understand how businesses and personal finances work.
Students will compare different ways to save money and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each option. They will practice making choices about how to spend and save a weekly allowance, learning the importance of planning ahead. In addition, students will learn about the role of financial institutions, such as banks, and why people keep money safe, borrow money, and lend money. By the end of the unit, students will have a better understanding of how to make smart financial decisions in real-life situations.
