Grade 4
Quarter 2
Below are listed the I Can statements for each unit. These help guide teachers in our planning as we prepare lessons knowing what students need to be doing by the end of the unit. This gives you an idea of things that you can work on at home or talk about.
Quarter 2
Unit 4:
What students are expected to do:
I can represent equivalent fractions using manipulatives and visual models.
I can explain why fractions are equivalent.
I can find equivalent fractions for a given fraction.
I can rewrite a fraction with a denominator of 10 as an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100 using a model.
I can compare two fractions with either two different numerators or two different denominators by reasoning about their size.
I can compare two fractions using benchmarks and/or visual models with <,>, and =.
I can order fractions by reasoning about the relative size of each fraction.
I can create and interpret line plots using fractions to the whole, ½, or ¼ unit.
I can solve addition and subtraction problems using data from line plots with measurements between 0 and 5.
I can decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way.
I can make and label visual models to add and subtract fractions with like denominators.
I can write an equation to represent the decomposition of a fraction.
I can identify the unit fraction of a non-unit fraction and apply this understanding to the addition/subtraction of a non-unit fraction.
I can read a word problem involving fractions with like denominators and determine whether to add or subtract.
I can solve and represent word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators using a model and equation.
I can solve and represent word problems involving addition and subtraction of mixed numbers with like denominators using a model and equation.
