Writing

L.4.1 - When writing or speaking, demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage.

a. Use relative pronouns and relative adverbs.

b. Use the progressive verb tenses.

c. Use modal auxiliaries to convey various conditions, such as can, may and must.

d. Order adjectives within sentences according to conventional patterns.

e. Use prepositional phrases.

f. Produce complete sentences, recognizing and correcting inappropriate fragments and run-ons.

g. Use frequently confused words, such as to, too, two; there, their, they’re.

C.4.1 - Compose opinions, using writing and digital resources, on topics or texts, supporting an author’s perspective with reasons and information. With guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, and rewriting.

C.4.2 - Compose informative and/or explanatory texts, using writing and digital resources, to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly. With guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, and rewriting.

C.4.3 - Compose narratives, using writing and digital resources, to develop real or imagined experiences or multiple events or ideas, using effective techniques, descriptive details, and clear sequences

C.4.5 - Conduct short research projects that build knowledge through investigation of different aspects of a topic.

C.4.6 - Summarize relevant information from experiences or gather relevant information from various print and digital sources; take notes, categorize information, and provide a list of sources.

Reading 

RI.4.1 - Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

RI.4.2 - Analyze how the central ideas are reflected in a text, and cite relevant implicit and explicit evidence from the text.

RI.4.3 - Explain the individuals, events, procedures, ideas, or concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text, including what happened and why, based on specific information over the

course of a text.

RI.4.4 - Determine the meaning of general academic and domain-specific words or phrases in a grade-level text, and describe and explain how those words and phrases shape meaning.

RL.4.5 - Analyze the overall structure, in a text or part of the text, the author uses in poems, stories, and dramas, including but not limited to linear, nonlinear, and circular structures.

RL.4.6 - Compare/contrast the point of view of first and third-person narrators and the effect they have on the reader.

RL.4.9 - Compare/contrast the point of view of first and third-person narrators and the effect they have on the reader.

4.NBT.3 Use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place.

Students go beyond the application of a procedure when rounding. Students demonstrate a deeper understanding of number sense and place value when they explain and reason about the answers they get when rounding.

4.NBT.4 Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using an algorithm. MP.2, MP.8

Students make connections from previous work with addition and subtraction, using models/representations to develop an efficient algorithm to add and subtract multi-digit numbers based on conceptual understanding.

4.OA.1 Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations. For Example: Students interpret 35 = 5 × 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5.

4.OA.2 Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparisons by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem, distinguishing multiplicative comparison from additive comparison.

4.OA.3 Solve multi-step problems.

a. Perform operations in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order.

b. Solve multi-step word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computations and estimation strategies including rounding.

4.NBT.5 Multiply whole numbers up to four digit number by a one-digit number and Two-digit number by two-digit number

Multiply using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays and/or area models.

Students use a variety of models (rectangular arrays and area models) and strategies to divide up to four-digit dividends by one-digit divisors. 5,500 ÷ 4 = ?

Note: By the end of grade 4 students should be able to model, write and explain division by a one-digit divisor.

4.MD.1 Know the relative size of measurement units (mass, weight, liquid volume, length, time) within one system of units (metric system, U.S. standard system and time).

a. Understand the relationship of measurement units within any

given measurement system.

b. Within any given measurement system, express measurements

in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit.

c. Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table.

4.MD.2 Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects and money.

a. Solve measurement problems involving whole numbers, simple

fractions, or decimals.

b. Solve problems that require converting a given measurement

from a larger unit to a smaller unit within a common

measurement system, such as 2 km = 2,000 m.

c. Visually display measurement quantities using representations

such as number lines that feature a measurement scale.

Note: grade 4 expectations are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 100.

4-PS3-1

Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object.

4-PS3-2.

Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.

4-PS3-3.

Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collid

4-LS1-1.

Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.

4-LS1-1

Identify the parts of a seed.

4.I.UE.1 Integrate evidence from two or more sources to answer compelling and supporting questions.

4.I.UE.3 Develop claims with evidence to answer compelling and supporting questions.

4.I.CC.1 Construct an explanation, using reasoning and relevant information, to examine the causes and effects of an issue around migration and settlement.

4.I.CC.2 Construct an argument with reasons and supporting evidence on the challenges and opportunities people face when transitioning to a new community.

4.I.Q.2 Develop supporting questions to answer compelling questions about migration and settlement.
