4MA.A.1 recognize patterns within the base ten place value system with quantities presented in real-life situations to compare and round multi-digit whole numbers through the hundred-thousands place (4.NR.1)

4MA.A.2 solve problems involving addition and subtraction through the hundred-thousands place, as well as multiplication and division of multi-digit whole numbers presented in real-life, mathematical situations using part-whole strategies (4.NR.2)

4MA.D.6 measure time and objects that exist in the world to solve real-life, mathematical problems and analyze graphical displays of data to answer relevant questions (4.MDR.6)

• 1.a read and write multi-digit whole numbers to the hundred-thousands place using base-ten numerals and expanded form (4.NR.1.1)

• 1.b recognize and show that a digit in one place has a value ten times greater than what it represents in the place to its right and extend this understanding to determine the value of a digit when it is shifted to the left or right, based on the relationship between multiplication and division (4.NR.1.2)

• 1.c use place value reasoning to represent, compare, and order multi-digit numbers (up to five whole numbers less than 1,000,000), using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons (4.NR.1.3)

• 1.d use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers (4.NR.1.4)

• 2.a add and subtract multi-digit numbers fluently to solve practical, mathematical problems using place value understanding, properties of operations, and relationships between operations (4.NR.2.1)

• 2.e solve multi-step problems using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division involving whole numbers, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted; represent these problems using equations with a variable for the unknown quantity; use mental computation and estimation strategies to justify the reasonableness of solutions (addition and subtraction) (4.NR.2.5)

(Note:  Only addition and subtraction addressed at this time)

• 6.b ask questions and answer them based on gathered information, observations, and appropriate graphical displays to solve problems relevant to everyday life; questions should be student generated (4.MDR.6.2)

• 3.a generate both number and shape patterns that follow a provided rule (4.PAR.3.1) 

• 3.b use input-output rules, tables, and charts to represent and describe patterns, find relationships, and solve problems (4.PAR.3.2)

• 3.c find all factor pairs for numbers in the range 1-100; find multiples up to 100 for a single digit number (4.PAR.3.3)

• 3.d identify composite numbers and prime numbers and explain the relationship with the factor pairs (4.PAR.3.4) 

• 6.b ask questions and answer them based on gathered information, observations, and appropriate graphical displays to solve problems relevant to everyday life; questions should be student generated (4.MDR.6.2)

Place Value, Comparing & Rounding (4MA.A.1; 1.a–d) 

• Big Number Hunt: Point out large numbers (prices, population signs, license plates). Ask: “Which is bigger? Which one rounds to the nearest 10,000?”
  
  

• Expanded Form Challenge: Take numbers from bills, receipts, or sports scores and break them down (e.g., 234,567 = 200,000 + 30,000 + 4,000 + 500 + 60 + 7).
  
  

• Rounding Games: Use car mileage, odometer readings, or prices to practice rounding up/down

Addition & Subtraction (4MA.A.2; 2.a, 2.e) 

• Family Budgeting: Let kids help add grocery totals or subtract discounts.
  
  

• Travel Math: Use miles on a trip—“We’ve gone 134 miles, the trip is 420 miles. How far left?”
  
  

• Multi-Step Word Problems: Create scenarios like: “We collected 2,458 cans on Monday and 3,762 on Tuesday. How many in all? If we give away 1,500, how many left?”

Measurement & Data (4MA.D.6; 6.b) 

• Cooking with Math: Have kids measure ingredients, double or halve recipes.
  
  

• Family Surveys: Create a poll (favorite dinner, movie, game), record results, and make a bar graph or pictograph. Ask: “What’s the most popular? Least popular?”
  
  

• Time Challenges: Measure how long chores, games, or family races take. Compare times in charts.

Patterns, Factors & Multiples (3.a–d) 

• Shape & Number Patterns: Use LEGO, blocks, or coins to make growing patterns. Have your child extend them.
  
  

• Input-Output Tables: Play “rule maker”—Parent gives a rule (×2, +3). Kids fill in the chart. Switch roles!
  
  

• Factor & Multiple Games: Pick a number (like 36). Find all factor pairs. For multiples, clap out every multiple of a chosen number.
  
  

• Prime vs. Composite Hunt: Play “prime detectives”—decide if numbers 1–100 are prime or composite, using factor pairs.
