Grade 4

Quarter 3

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.

What students are expected to do:

  • I can explain why fractions are equivalent.

  • I can find equivalent fractions for a given fraction.

  • I can compare and order fractions by reasoning about their size using common denominators or benchmark fractions.

  • I can tell whether or not two fractions can be compared based on the size of the whole for each fraction.

  • I can compare two fractions using common denominators, benchmarks, and/or visual models with <,>, and =.

  • I can find common denominators for a set of fractions, and use the equivalent fractions to create a line plot for a set of data.

  • I can solve problems using data from line plots.

  • I can add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators using what I know about replacing mixed numbers with equivalent fractions, properties of operations, and the relationship between addition and subtraction.

  • I can solve addition and subtraction fraction problems with like denominators using a model and equation to represent the situation.

  • I can rewrite a fraction with a denominator of 10 as an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100 and explain my thinking.

  • I can add two fractions with denominators of 10 and 100 using a variety of representations.

  • I can represent fractions with denominators of 10 and 100 as decimals.

  • I can compare decimal notations for tenths and hundredths.

  • I can multiply a whole number by a fraction using models and equations.

  • I can write a repeated addition expression to represent the multiplication of a whole number and a fraction.

  • I can solve problems that involve multiplying a whole number by a fraction using visual models and equations.

What students are expected to do:

  • I can identify and name points, line segments, rays, lines and angles.

  • I can identify perpendicular lines, parallel lines, and intersecting lines within shapes.

  • I can classify triangles and quadrilaterals.

  • I can identify and draw a line of symmetry in a figure.

  • I can construct angles by drawing 2 rays that share a common endpoint.

  • I can identify types of angles (acute, right, obtuse, straight) within a circle.

  • I can communicate an angle measurement with reference to a circle.

  • I can use a protractor to measure and draw angles.

  • I can identify a larger angle as the sum of two angles.
